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

W No 14 Greek girl reaching quarters or semis isn't a suprise after all 

The Romanian entered semis, I wish we had that medal, but unlucky losing so closely and that would have been a suprise though.

it's been a crazy day, but at least in women's sabre we're finally heading towards a highly expected new chapter of the Velikaya vs Kharlan saga...

 

in the men's foil, instead, however it goes, we're gonna have a really unexpected outcome...

no, it's a huge surprise...she might be no.14 in the WR because of her regularity on an average basis, but she's never been so high even in a normal world cup event...so, I think not even herself expected to go so deep in the tournament...

Wow Zherebchenko on fire today like in 2017.

Well, this is historic. For the first time since 1987 Italy wasn't able to reach the final in any of the individual fencing events. (and in 1987 women's epee and women's sabre didn't exist)
