I always thought that Safin is weakest in Russian foil team, but it seems he is in nice shape. He will be in Rio (If I remember well).

I want to forget you as soon as these European Championship. Only Errigo is semifinals in women's foil for Italy Elisa Di Francisca was defeat by Shanaeva in an amazing match

Fencing European Championships 2016

 

absolute disaster for Italy...Elisa Di Francisca didn't take advantage of Inna Deriglazova's early elimination and lost the bout that could have avoided her a possible clah against Errigo before the Gold medal final in Rio...

now, because of the draw rules, there are 50% chances they will meet too early at the Olympic Games (beacause, despite today's not encouraging performance, I'm sure that in Rio nobody will stop our girls in any case)...and this would be another drama for the forseen bloodless Italian Olympic medal table...

another day to forget as quick as possible for Italy...

despite the thrilling success by Errigo, we put ourselves in danger not to have an all-Italian final in Rio in the Women's Foil and the boys with the Epee just performed like amateurs...

I really hope that they just decided not to take this Championship very seriously, otherwise in Rio it's gonna be an epic fail for all of our sport...

Our epee is a disaster. Only Garozzo is semi-competitive..
