4 more medals for Italy, today...

 

which would be great (and it really is great)...

 

but still, there's also a very bad note also in a day like this...

Errigo in fact was just inexcusable and unwatchable against Ivanova...no pride, no "garra", totally not focused on the right tactics...

it's a shame that such a talented girl (by far the most talented in the world) is wasting all of her chances to become one of the great of her sport because of her awful mental attitude...

Congratulations! I've always been a fan of Italian fencing

Elisa is baaaackkk! finally, an Italian girl capable of beating Deriglazova (who definitely mentally owns Volpi) when it really matters...

 

meanwhile Santarelli wasted a big chance to win his first major individual Gold Medal...but frankly, Freilich was better from the beginning to the end of the decisive assault...

 

the first 2 days of these champs have been great for us, but I hope we can get the best out of the team events, which are way more important in terms of the Olympic Qualification Ranking...

and the men's sabre guys also are experiencing a disastrous day...

Samele threw away a match he basically already won against Apithy in the round of 32 (but he's the only one to blame), meanwhile Curatoli lost, or, better, was robbed big time by the ref and by the Romanian Zalomir, despite coming back from 9-14 to 14-14 (always in the round of 32)...

and sad to be noticed, the Romanian and his coaches kept an awful, miseducated and highly unsportmanlike behaviour for the entire match...I hopehe goes out immediately in the next round...he doesn't deserve any success at all...

 

only Berrè has been capable of winning his bout in the round of 32 so far (against Beka Bazadze)...

 

and our last guy, the great Aldo Montano, has not been lucky at all with the draw, as he has to face Aron Szilagyi (always in the round of 32)...

and right now, he needs almost a miracle to win a match against the great Hungarian...

[phelps 7,680]

and Montano is out, too...

he tried, but it's quite painful to watch him right now...he still has a few classy hits in his hand, but it's not enough to win big matches and global medals anymore...

[EselTheDonkey 824]

Yeah, it's a terrible tournament so far for Italy with at least six medals in the individual events.
