now we can finally say it: this championship is a total disaster, the worst Italian team since 1995...

 

what a shame!

 

now we only need to compromise the Olympic qualification in a couple of events and make a lot of people happy...

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) 

 

and with this one, I'm dead and gone...

 

see you in the other forum's threads...

Celebrate the diversity ...

You can't ask for more diversity (if you can call another day with 7 european and one south korean athlete in semifinal really diverse ...) and at the same time be unhappy about Italy getting less dominant.

Crazy to see how bad german fencing has become, now even countries like Hong Kong, Brazil, Greece or GB will finish ahead of Germany in the medal table.

as expected, Velikaya and Kharlan made it through to the grand final...

 

at least in women's sabre, we're going to have the best possible gold medal match...actually, women's sabre at its finest...
