OK let's talk about banning Kuwait ! well, it would be nothing new for them...they were already suspended by FIE (and IOC) for quite a long time not so long ago (even if it was for a different reason, government interference in the federation's proper operations)...

phelps 6,536 Posted November 24, 2018 Author #33 Share Posted November 24, 2018 (edited) Arianna Errigo out in round #1 against Katarzyna Lachman! this girl is completely lost...what a waste of talent... meanwhile Elisa Di Francisca survived a very close fight against the cadet & junior World Champion (and Youth Olympic Gold medallist) Yuka Ueno (7-6 the final score)... Martina Batini was a bit more convincing against Martyna Jelinska (she won 15-12), but now she has to face Camilla Mancini, which could prove a very difficult task...

phelps 6,536 Posted November 24, 2018 Author #34 Share Posted November 24, 2018 women's foil back to basics in Algiers... right now we're at the quarterfinals' stage and we have 4 Italian girls (among them, both our "fencing moms" Di Francisca and Batini + our established no.1 Alice Volpi + our raising star Martina Favaretto), 3 Russian girls (their stars Deriglazova and Korobeynikova + Anastasia Ivanova) and only 1 girl representing the rest of the world...and it's not a casualty that she's Serao Azuma from Japan (even if she's not the most expected name among the Rising Sun Country girls)... meanwhile in bern in the men's epee we have some really surprising results so far, with Vervijlen, Minobe, Alexanin and the young Italian Federico Vismara already through to the "final 4"... our biggest talent Davide Di Veroli, at his debut in the senior world cup, lost in the second round to Michele Niggeler by a score of 5-4, after a classic low scoring tactical bout...his lack of experience played its part, I guess...

AlFHg 330 Posted November 24, 2018 #35 Share Posted November 24, 2018 this WC stage in Bern misses some names like Borrel. On the other hand, Pizzo was eliminated in preliminary rounds, while Garozzo and Santarelli lost in the first main stage. It really looks like that in Italy we cannot do epee. However, Favaretto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait what? The live stream showed the result of Verwijlen against a Polish guy with the Polish guy having won 15-10 (last 64) If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!
