Only one bronze after 4 events their sabre girls saved the face, at least... they have 3 women among the 4 medallists... meanwhile in the men's foil they are all already out before the last 8 (where there are 3 Italians, 2 Britons and no Americans, by the way) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quasit 849 Posted July 24, 2018 #106 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Also Japan didn't even come close to repeating their success in Men's Foil. Stopped watching sports, there are better things in life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phelps 6,794 Posted July 24, 2018 Author #108 Share Posted July 24, 2018 shame! shame! shame! on Garozzo and Avola...they literally threw a medal away against no-name fencers... by the way, quite a lot of surprises also in both today's events...not our usual World Champ (it's the Chinese jinx, of course)...

Andry84 74 Posted July 24, 2018 #109 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Disaster????????When italian fencing supporters start to understand that winning in fencing is much, much, much, much more difficult than 15 years ago? Disaster for a world medal?Ok Garozzo and Avola are better than korean and spanish fencers but surprising results often happens in sport (remember Marco Cecchinato in Paris) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disaster for a world medal?Ok Garozzo and Avola are better than korean and spanish fencers but surprising results often happens in sport (remember Marco Cecchinato in Paris) it's not a disaster..but still it's a disappointing outcome, especially when 2 other people waste such a chance against clearly weaker opponents... frankly, once getting to that specific quarterfinals situation, it was absolutely normal to expect 3 Italians among the top 4...and as it didn't happen, it's also absolutely normal being unhappy (I'm pretty sure that Avola and Garozzo are the first to blame themselves for those losses and even more because at a certain point they looked in control of thier respective assaults)... now let's hope that Foconi doesn't imitate his teammates and "fills his contract" by winning that fu**in' Gold medal...
