Fencing EFC European Championships 2024

[Illya 459]

Alina Poloziuk beat twice Alice Volpi today, I'm shocked 

[Faramir 154]

Thibus abandoned for injury, at this point she'll either miss the Olympics (as she should ) or face a top (likely top4) fencer already in the round of 32

Terrible form for the Italians. Only 1 will have a medal today. With such a poor level, it's a disgrace: no Rus, no Thibus, no Sauer. Volpi has too many strange fails. It's a long way to the level of domination of the Italian women's foil team from the times of Vezzali, di Francisca and Errigo.

gotta be realistic, those times will never come back...

 

I'm happy to still be a true gold medal candidate in every major competition, both individual and team's

[phelps 7,430]

however, it's obvious that we didn't prepare these championships properly, our guys are already fully focused on the Olympic events

 

still, losing to average level opponents hurts 

[phelps 7,430]

 Aron Szilagyi lost to  Enver Yildirim in the second round of men's sabre  

 

and there's still one round left, but in the quarterfinals we might see a very rare  brothers' affair between Jean-Philippe and Sebastien Patrice with a medal up for grabs 

[phelps 7,430]

Errigo on a class of her own...

 

she easily beat Favaretto 15-9 and therefore she's through to the semifinals and has another medal guaranteed to her collection

[phelps 7,430]

women's Foil

 

semifinals

 

 Arianna Errigo vs  Carolina Stutchbury

 Dariia Myroniuk vs  Julia Walczyk-Klimaszyk

[phelps 7,430]

in the men's Sabre quarterfinals we have 4x , 3x  and 1x  

 

 Luca Curatoli vs  Maxime Pianfetti

 Luigi Samele vs  George Dragomir

 Michele Gallo vs  Bolade Apithy

 Jean-Philippe Patrice vs  Sebastien Patrice 

 

so, we actually have 2 brothers facing each other with a medal up for grabs 

[Faramir 154]

3 Italian medals in men's sabre and 1 in women's foil.
A few hours ago you'd have needed to be under the influence of heavy drugs to say this sentence.
