Marini was outclasses 13-4 by Choi 

 

now  lead 40-39 before the last assault 

[Vektor 3,326]

What the hell, the sky is literally falling in men's foil in the QFs. 

 

 out,  losing,  losing

[phelps 7,706]

what a shame!

 

the saddest end of the championship we could ever think of

 

Garozzo is totally boiled

 

and it's also a brawl between the coaches!  

 

by the way, very unsportsmanlike behaviour by  coaches and also very provocative behaviour by Cheung Ka Long on the last hit  

[phelps 7,706]

I bet on  finishing 8th

 

Marini doesn't look good at all, he might be injured in his throwing arm

Unbelievable, after a very mediocre season the sabre girls get their shit together when it matters the most and they are in the Worlds final again! 

 

Didn't see this medal coming at all. 

[Matteo92 98]

Italian men have decided to turn today into a complete catastrophe.

[Vektor 3,326]

I must say, before the finals, that Hungarian fencing did well this year at the Worlds. 4 medals and at least 2 gold medals. Couldn't have asked for more. I mean, we had other chances, but I can't demand perfection, even the strongest nations had their disappointments. This is one of our best performance in the past few decades. I can only hope that we can have a similarly good competition one year from now in Paris.
