Fencing FIE World Cup 2019 - 2020

no good news for Italy also in the men's Foil GP...

 

except for Foconi, all the Italian top specialists are already out after round of #32...

 

meanwhile among the women, only Batini is out among our top girls (we have 5 in the top 16, but now we have 2 direct match-ups between Italians in the next round)...

 

 

update: and once again, the disappointing "dynamic duo" Errigo & Di Francisca missed the podium after losing in the quarterfinals against Thibus and Kiefer respectively...

 

so, now we have only Volpi in the "final four"...

US guys storming over the Italian GP...

 

Italian guys flopping badly in their home GP...

the Ukranians are going for their usual messy and intimidatory tactics...

 

I hope our guys won't let them take advantage of dirty play...

[phelps 8,616]

yesssss!!! we are in the top 4 once again!!!

[phelps 8,616]

and we're also going to gain a lot of points over our direct rivals (UKR / HUN / RUS and CHN)...

 

with a bit of luck in the finals, we're likely to earn our ticket on the flight to Tokyo with a tournament still to be played...or maybe not...the ranking is still to close to express mathematical verdicts tonight (except for FRA, who are already actually mathematically qualified with the results recorded so far tonight)...
