the women's "final four" will be held later tonight at 10 p.m. CET...

 

meanwhile right now the men's top four is running...

and it's played in a very suggestive location, the Crystal Gallery of the "Palacio de Cibeles"...

Hartung!

[phelps 6,866]

living dangerously...but finally, taking home the top prize...Max Hartung is back on top of the podium after an exciting afternoon in Madrid...

 

meanwhile the Italians...well, not a very bad day, but still, not enough (no medals for us, only a 6th and a 7th final placing)...

 

[phelps 6,866]

what a wasted chance for Vecchi...

no comment on the other Italian girls...the usual disaster...

Velikaya still the best in business...only Kharlan in top shape can match her talent (and we haven't seen too much of that, lately)...

[Function CR Lee 468]

Chinese fencing has medals for two weeks and the Olympic qualification race has just begun. This is incredible.
