right now our friend @MHSN will be jumping for joy...Iran beat China and basically secured an Olympic spot (now they are almost sure to be the second best Asian team behind the world's no.1 KOR)...

 

:d not "now" because it was an hour ago. and it was a bit scary since China had 5-6 pts lead at some point because of Abedini's poor performance but Pakdaman saved the day.

 

yeah I think it's safe to say the Olympic spot is secured now. :toast:

women's individual Sabre, Quarterfinals

 

:RUS Sofya Velikaya vs :HUN Anna Marton

:FRA Cecilia Berder vs :GRE Theodora Gkountoura

:ROU Bianca Pascu vs :USA Anne-Elizabeth Stone

:UKR Olga Kharlan vs :UKR Alina Komashchuk

 

 

8 girls from 7 different Nations involved...

Ukriane is the only Country having 2 fencers, but unfortunately for them now they have to face each other in the quarterfinals, which means that they are going to win a medal (a safe medal) and don't have any chance to double it up...

and once again we have at least 1 big surprise from a non traditional fencing Nation...this time is the Greek girl, Gkountoura...

I thought that it was strange how Italy only has one chance left for an individual gold, so I started searching for the last WCh where Italy didn't win any gold medals in the individual events. And it's 1995, they won two team gold medals that year, but no individual gold medals.

yeah...don't remind me those stats...it's so painful to watch this championships...

 

and now big drama in women's team epee...GER is 22-21 ahead after 8 of the 9 assaults...Fiamingo vs Ndolo the last and decisive match up (basically we have already lost before the start)...

by the way, another impressive stat is the streak of Italian and/or Russian wins in women's individual Foil...now we are at 21 consecutive ITA or RUS individual gold medals...:yikes:

 

the last non-ITA or non-RUS winner was :GER Sabine Bau in La Chaux-de-Fonds (SUI) in 1998...

    • I read now that Valentina Rodini will be in the new team of Tizzano + Galtarossa and Martini. I was probably in such an information bubble on Instagram that I thought that only Abbagnale was running a campaign and had a team of people around him. That's why I was surprised by his defeat + the fact that, for example, Rodini supports his rival. But as I wrote, for me the change in the general coach position is a plus. We need a new opening and a new impulse: Cattaneo had his best results in Tokyo and then he only explained that his rowers were running away abroad to the USA to study and that's why he had worse results. Ok, except that it's the same in Romania and Greece but they results are comparable or better. It's obvious that no one here will make the UK or the Netherlands, because we don't have such resources and money but I think we can repeat the Romanian results (2 gold - 3 silver in Paris) and that will be a much better result than the 2 silver in this year.
    • Abbagnale boasted that he had 80 per cent a few days before the vote (I still have the screen) and ran again as a result of a power deal. Not a great loss.   I have doubts about the new technical director though, you can't announce him during the congress, brandishing the scalp of the Abbagnale era technical staff (who then, were Crispi's men). Let's hope there are no rifts between the new staff and the athletes, it had to be handled better.
    • I was surprised by Abbagnale's defeat. I thought he was a sure of victory, since he decided to run - I read some source that he didn't know if he would start before Paris 2024. What do you think about it?

    • Cattaneo was good but his peak was in Tokyo 2021. Then there was such stabilization - stagnation. In Paris the result was in line with expectations but without the wow effect. They threw everything that was best into the quadruple sculls and it was enough for a only silver. Now without the lightweight sculls in LA I think that radical changes are needed to remain competitive. Previously there was a 3-year Olympic cycle due to Covid, so big changes weren`t good but now I think the time is right. Although of course more funds are needed for this sport in Italy, because even the best coach will not overcome this vel our men`s alpine skiing sector
    • @Gianlu33 we posted the same (great) news at the same time  
    • Davide Tizzano (1996 Olympic Champion, men's double sculls) is the new President of the Italian Federation, as he defeated the (now former) President Giuseppe Abbagnale by a very small margin (52% to 48%) in last week's federal elections   and he's already at work to make up for the last 8 disappointing years (at least in terms of Olympic success): his first move is bringing back home  Antonio Colamonaci  who made  great in the past 8 years   https://www.oasport.it/2024/11/canottaggio-cambia-la-direzione-tecnica-dellitalia-arriva-il-guru-che-ha-reso-grande-la-romania/   let's see if he can make  great again, now
