MHSN 3,221 Posted June 17, 2017 #11 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Today we had a good chance for our first ever gold medal at the Asian Championships, OK maybe not the first , I don't have old results but at least the first gold medal after a long long time but we finished with a silver and a bronze. we have a good Sabre team now but Korea is just better and they have the individual and team title in Asia in this event for a long time. today Rahbari beat two Koreans before losing to Gu Bongil in the final. out of our 4 Sabrists, they only lost to each other or the Koreans !

phelps 6,872 Posted October 22, 2017 #18 Share Posted October 22, 2017 decent results through the entire weekend for Italy...podium places in all the competitions and nice win by Mara Navarria in the women's individual epee (today's team silver in the women's epee is especially good and encouraging, since this is our worst discipline since many years and because finally we have a couple of new faces in our roster...even if I don't understand why they still chose Alice Clerici instead of the surely stronger Eleonora De Marchi among the youngsters) ... Fencing is always our best chance to shine in the world of sports... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
