Brazil vs Luxembourg :yikes: in quarterfinal. it will be first ever WCh medal for either country

 

Brazil is actually Italy...Moellhausen already won an individual Bronze medal and a few Team medals (including 1 Gold) with the Italian team, before switching to her mom's native Country, Brazil...

 

meanwhile this girl from Luxembourg is really improving, after a very good career among the juniors (I think she won a few international medals between cadets and juniors classes or in any case she got really close...I have to check it out properly)...

Another far from convincing performance by Hartung, he has been very lucky with the draw, but now he probably needs a miracle against Abedini. At this point i would be shocked if the final wouldn't be Dershwitz vs. Oh, they seem to be on another level.

Szatmari and Hartung also in the quarterfinals...only the match between Curatoli and Bazadze is still running (with the Georgian not playing fair, even if I have to say that a couple of hits against him have been judged not correctly)...

and :USA Dershwitz is the 4th fencer to make the top 8 in the men's sabre...

 

now it's time for the 2 "true" Italians left in the competition today...

What do you mean? I think Curatoli is the only italian left ... ?

It could be a golden day for Korea. I think after the exit of Ndolo they are the only country with a chance for a medal on both sides.

when I wrote that post, Samele was still there (then he lost to Oh)...

and as I wrote before, Moellhausen now represents Brazil, but she's more Italian than Brazilian (she was born and raised here, even if her mom is Brazilian)...

    • Linn Gestblom (previously Persson) Will miss all season. Not recovered after surgery.
    • Greece and Portugal also have winter sports centres - but of course these are not homologated routes for World Cup competitions I have never been to Albania personally, so I don't know the country at all. I have been in southern Croatia, though, and there are mountains there but you definitely can't ski there (I was there in the summer, but it's also impossible in the winter). World cup taking place there only in Zagreb.    In general the case of Colturi and Kostelic is completely different: Colturi has no ties to Albania and Janica Kostelic was Croatian and didn't left their country even though at the beginning of her carrier (and also her brother Ivica) her father had to pay for everything and the federation's support was zero. This only changed later. I imagine that the Kostelic family had offers from other countries (Austria, Switzerland, Italy?) to compete for them, which were much richer (at the beginning of the 21st century Croatia was a very poor country and devastated by war). All the more respect for them because they were true Croatian patriots until the end. I can imagine the Colturi family in a similar situation... Her mother would probably negotiate with half of Alpine Europe for Lara to compete for them Which of course doesn't change the fact that the Italian federation completely gave a shit in this situation. They let such talent go in a situation where they hasn`t a single female athlete on the podium of the World Cup in slalom for a dozen or so years. In the giant slalom it's not much better either, only there the older athletes cloud the picture: Brignone and Bassino. However, behind these two there is absolutely nothing...
