noooooo   

 

and this also fucks my prediction contest off  

[phelps 6,872]

however, I also have some good news...

 

I thought this championship was going to be an epic fail in terms of people's participation because the tickets are quite expensive and because scheduling the finals' sessions at 4 p.m. in Italy, and especially in July/August in Milan, it's just crazy

 

but I'm happy to say I was completely wrong...OK, the arena is very small, but all the tickets have already been sold, we're gonna have a full sellout crowd all week long (there were more than 2000 people hanging around already on Saturday and Sunday for the preliminary stages -in the less comfortable dedicated hall )

Honestly, idk why this is happening to Ukraine....... Olga really wants to participate in individual sabre too, but stupid laws from Ukraine won't allow her to compete. It's so sad, but our main focus - team events, so will see

Here comes our supposedly strongest day in the individual competition with Kun, Szilágyi and Szatmári as medal contenders. Hopefully we can win a medal today.

We lost  Fornaris in the round of 64, but she did pretty well against  Louis Marie.
