OlympicsFan 783 Posted June 21, 2019 #61 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Interesting performance by Germany in women's foil. In the semifinal Golubytskyi was completely hopeless and in the final it was Hampel who was completely hopeless. If Golubytskyi can get close to her best shape again, then Ebert/Sauer/Golubytskyi could be a very dangerous team. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phelps 6,950 Posted June 21, 2019 Author #62 Share Posted June 21, 2019 it was so close! I don't know why, but at the end I was really hoping that Jorgensen could do it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phelps 6,950 Posted June 22, 2019 Author #68 Share Posted June 22, 2019 and also in the men's sabre we couldn't make the gold medal match... 6 weapons (or, better, 6 team events) and not a single gold medal match for Italy...what a shame! they should all come back to Italy by being kicked in their asses from Dusseldorf to Rome! mrv86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phelps 6,950 Posted June 22, 2019 Author #70 Share Posted June 22, 2019 (edited) so, Poland win the last Gold of the Championships and make it 7 Nations winning at least 1 gold (11 winning at least 1 medal, no matter the colour)... I'm not sure, but I don't remember so many successful Countries in the previous editions... on the other hand, Italy won the most medals (10), but only 2 gold and, more than anything, we only collected placings from 3rd to 5th in the team events, which is awful and in a couple of cases also dangerously scary for what concerns the Olympic qualification... and the world champs are just around the corner (the only good thing is that also last year we didn't win many medals at the Europeans, but we did definitely a lot better at the worlds)...
