today, instead, we have the most expected semifinals...nobody got even close to get a surprising entry among the forelast round of the competition...

 

we can find a couple of unexpected players only among those who are going to fight in the repechage matches...

 

for Italy, yesterday there was a disappointing outing by Elios Manzi in the men's -60kg (not so much because he lost to :KAZ Smetov in his 3rd fight, but because how he fought in all of his 3 bouts, including the 2 he narrowly won)...

 

today, it's even more disappointing...

 

2018 junior world champion Manuel Lombardo first had to escape an already lost match against :ISR Shmailov, then he was too tired in the quarterfinal's match and he didn't understand anything against :MDA Vieru (who already beat him a couple of time earlier this season), who easily beat him thanks to a painful arm lock (I hope he won't have any trouble against Iadov in the repechage match later on because of that)...

 

European Games/Championships runner-up Matteo Medves, instead, was joked again by :JPN Abe (as it happened last year)...but that was well within expectations...

 

the real disaster came once again from Odette Giuffrida, who lost at the golden score against :RUS Kuziutina after more than 5 mins in which she didn't do absolutely nothing...and that's unacceptable by an Olympic Silver medallist, who started the competition with explicit ambition of coming back home with at least a medal...

    • As a Montreal Canadien fan, I am in agreement. However, he is struggling recently and is demoted to the 4th line this week. Hoping he can turn it around. 
    • 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?
