and also another year of Continental Youth Champs is over...

 

in Europe, Italy and Russia shared the most Gold medals (8 each), with the Southern Europeans leading the medal table because of 2 more Silvers (and a 20-19 total)...

good campaign also for Hungary and, only among the juniors, for France (they didn't even compete at cadets' level)...

Germany and Turkey (nice surprise) won the only remaining Gold medals (1 each), with 15 different Countries winning at least 1 total medal...

 

in the other Continents, almost everything went according to the previews, with Korea winning the most medals ahead of Japan in Asia (China was very disappointing, though...even if they never show up at their best in this youth events) and USA dominating as usual the Pan-American zone (here also Mexico had a very good campaign with 4 Gold medals, not all of them really expected)...

In the African zone, we saw Egypt taking most of the honors, but they were not as devastating as they used to be, with Algeria emerging as the second force of the Continent and, good news if compared to the recent past, some more Countries making their appearance in the final medal table (and it could be even better if some day we'd get the cadets results, tooo...because we have to say that the usual lack of information is still a big problem with African Fencing -and many other sports, but this is another question)...

awful comeback to the usual world cup activity for Italy...

not a single girl in the top 8 (and only 1 in the top 16), with Errigo losing this time just in her first round assault...

 

on the overall side, there  have been some quite surprising results, too...especially Pascu's win (well deserved, to be honest...she defeated, among others, world no.1 Olga Kharlan in the quarterfinals) and Pusztai's silver (this girl just came out of last week's junior europeans, but she's already good among the senior ranks...and this is not her first good placing in the top class)...
