Good timing  Btw. Ewa will have gold or silver because is in final

Nice finish for Russia with two gold medals. And both are totally unexpected.

 

Congrats to Poland and Japan for finals

painful day for Italy...

 

Fiamingo didn't get any medal after 3 consecutive years on the podium (world champion in 2014 and 2015, Olympic Silver medallist last year)...

her teammates showed once again that they have no talent and can't win anything at this level...

Garozzo suddenly lost his magic touch against an unknown Japanese Kid (Tokyo 2020...we're coming) and had to be happy with bronze, missing his personal "triplete" after the Olympic and the European Gold medals...

Foconi had a very good first experience at world champs, but couldn't get his reward once again against another youngster from Japan (Tokyo 2020...we're coming...in force and charging!)

and Cassarà lost his mind another time when the going gets tough, proving he's not the tough man he thinks he is...

 

p.s. bad news for the men's sabre team, who lost Aldo Montano for tomorrow's team event because of an ankle injury (he's already back to Italy...young substitute Dario Cavaliere has been called up to take Montano's place for tomorrow)...

 

on the other side, congrats to the Russian second tier guys, who got both of today's golds when nobody expected them to even pass the early rounds...

and congrats to these Japanese guys, who have been really impressive throughout the whole day and deserved the medals they finally got...

it's not beautiful to be said, but I'm also happy for the American epic fail...a bit more sportsmanship and fair play from (not all, but many of) them would be highly appreciated...
