Gallo is the biggest moron in our team! 

I don't know about that, but it sure was entertaining to watch both of them celebrating, running around the arena at 14-14. Max level of commitment on selling the final point.

the problem is that he gave up 5 hits in a row in the middle of the match with mistakes he shouldn't have done it

 

it's complicated when you always have to pursuit your opponent

 

and let's say the truth...Elsissy is a good fencer, but he isn't Szilagyi nor Bazadze 

[Vektor 3,326]

We might be running late, but there's time for loooong video message from everyone's favorite Olympic champion fencer.

and now...a message from your own beloved Olympic Fencing Champion 1976, aka IOC President Dr. Thomas Bach as intro for the first finals session!   

 

after last night's storm that devastated the city, now, what else can go wrong? 

[phelps 7,706]

 Alberta Santuccio makes it through to the gold medal match of the women's epee, winning the derby vs Mara Navarria by a score of 15-14

[phelps 7,706]

 Marie-Florence Candassamy is Santuccio's opponent in the gold medal match.

 

she defeated  Sun Yiwen by a score of 14-10 in the second semifinal.

so, the first gold medal matchup  vs  of the championships is set

 

how many of them are we going to see this week?

1st Medal for Egypt in Senior WCH since waaaaaaaay back i guess 1951 , it's actually the 1st time an Egyptian fencer wins a medal in an individual event 

[Styrka 207]

Really weird end of match between Bazadze and Elsissy, the Egyptian has reveived a very controversial red card at 13-12.

Bazadze is through to the finale !
