I just can't believe what they did to Montano...

meanwhile in women's epee, we're facing the well expected disaster (and the fact that our girls lost just at the final hit is even more depressing)...

big time robbery...especially the last hit (he was 14-14 against Csanad Gemesi), it was a real home call of the worst type...

You can watch a match I hope that next time will refeer will be on the piste with a balaclava 

[Vektor 3,326]

The whole Montano-Gemesi match seemed like a clusterfuck of weird decisions. 

 

(and let's just say that the Hungarians absolutely hate Montano because of that similarly heated Athens Olympic final, so they are really happy about this result)

I wouldn't say so...

 

being Italian, obviously I'm focusing more on our athletes (especially in the preliminary stages of any event, when you can choose what to watch) and I write about them...

 

for sure I've seen as many "wrong" results not involving the Italians, but I don't have any interest in coming here to write about it, unless it happens in the finals phase...

 

for sure I'm not wasting my time writing that the Chinese divers or the Russian gymnasts and figure skaters are always overpayed, as it doesn't change anything in Italian perspective (and I just can't keep track of all the disasters I normally see in sports like Boxing -and not only Boxing)...

 

still, it's there for anybody to see what usually happens...

yeah, but who knows why? at least 85% of those weird decisions were going always in the same direction...

 

p.s. Hungarian can hate Montano...it's their right (until they don't do anything stupid)...but it was ref's job that wasn't good enough to be a world champs assault...
