We are not in good shape here, that's one thing. Two, Volpi is not as good a champion as Vezzali or di Francisca. Three, the USA entered this weapon more strongly and that was enough to humiliate us. If Russia were here, we wouldn't even be in the 4th. At the moment, even as a team, the USA is the favorite. However, it must be worrying that Italy is having the worst event at the Olympic Games, just like 3 years ago...

No, USA is not favorite as a team over Italy

 

And anyone who thinks so, should bet on USA and get at least 5x their money

History is made! Frist EVER African medal in the epee!

[Vektor 3,325]

Two lost matches in OT... Both the SF and the bronze medal match. Not our Games...

[Monzanator 4,468]

High drama in the bronze medal bout and takes it.

 

But the judge almost blew it checking TV like crazy.

I'm not so sure. Our girls aren't in great shape here, and Kiefer can make up a lot of points + they have Struggs.

Lee Kiefer defends the foil title  Absolutely rolled through the final

She is the best after Deriglazova's exclusion and unfortunately we aren`t supposed to succeed the great champions after Vezzali or di Francisca retired. Errigo is already old + she was needlessly involved in the opening parade, and Volpi is simply a good fencer, nothing more.
