Big ippon from Matic on Polling.

So only Bellandi has a chance for a medal If we win 0 medals, it will be a big failure. We sent a record 13 competitors here, 4 of whom had a real chance for the podium: Scutto, Giuffrida, Lombardo and Bellandi. From the last 3 World Championships we regularly came back with 2-3 medals. Unfortunately, the worst event in this 4-year period was at the Olympics

Consider that 78% of medals so far were won by seeded (top 8) judokas...and we have 7, by far the highest ever. And Italy had more world medals in the last 3 years than in the past twenty, 2000-2020...this is an epic fail.

The minimum plan was 2 medals, like in Tokyo, although I was counting on 3. Lombardo and Giuffrida in particular could have easily won bronze medals. Scutto got this 18-year-old from Sweden, who is a great talent. Maybe we should take the World Championships in 2024 less seriously?

By the way, I've had enough of boxing and judo for the next few years :P Unclear rules, controversial judges and constant polemics. I'll stay only with fencing, because at least we win something :P

Same here, I'll switch to sports I also don't understand but athletes with the same nationality as me win, so those are good sports

The controversy in judo is nothing compared to boxing. The only problem was what happened in 57 kg where Deguchi won gold by doing nothing in the last two bouts
