Fencing FIE World Championships 2018

Samele

he already tried to destroy our team in the previous rounds...and he's still there...

[phelps 6,864]

at least Curatoli made them sweat a bit...

 

but the truth is that Samele is too inconsistent and Berrè just can't throw against the Koreans (he should be used only against the European teams and stay on the bench when facing the Asians)...

 

in any case, congrats to Korea...right now they are the best sabre specialists in world...and by far...second title in a row for them...

I was ready to say Oh Sang-uk the man of the match but Curatoli gave him a good scare.

he still is the man of the match...his first 2 assaults (and especially the very 1st one) have determined the final outcome...would he had a couple of ordinary outings, probably Korea wouldn't be on top of today's ranking...

Wouldn't have been there Samele and Montano, probably was another story
