I am seeing no weak links in the Italian team. the problem was not about his replacement...but Avola's injury could have given Italy a lot of troubles in case of another injury and/or someone not throwing good enough, we were without a reserve guy in this final (but luckily we didn't need one)...

phelps 6,536 Posted July 27, 2018 Author #176 Share Posted July 27, 2018 and with this last gold medal match, now the champs are over... see you next year in Budapest (yes, only 6 years interval between 2 world champs in the same town)... Fencing FIE World Championships 2018 Final Medal Table ITA, 4 / 2 / 1KOR, 2 / 2 / 3USA, 2 / 2 / 2FRA, 2 / 1 / 1RUS, 1 / 2 / 4SUI, 1 / 0 / 1GBR, 0 / 1 / 0ROU, 0 / 1 / 0VEN, 0 / 1 / 0UKR, 0 / 0 / 2HUN, 0 / 0 / 1ESP, 0 / 0 / 1CHN, 0 / 0 / 1TUN, 0 / 0 / 1 Italy win the medal table once again, 14 different Nations get at least a medal (6 at least 1 Gold) and 4 different Continents have made the podium at least once (and the top 3 Nations come from 3 different Continents)... so, don't tell me that Fencing isn't a global sport...
