Curatoli lost, or, better, was robbed big time by the ref and by the Romanian Zalomir, despite coming back from 9-14 to 14-14 (always in the round of 32)...

and sad to be noticed, the Romanian and his coaches kept an awful, miseducated and highly unsportmanlike behaviour for the entire match...I hopehe goes out immediately in the next round...he doesn't deserve any success at all...

 

What did the retard Zalomir do? Btw, he's a wanker who came out of retirement as a last-minute weapon in our team's quest for Olympic Games

he tried every trick he has in the bag...provoking, delaying the restart of the action, stopping the start of the action for an unbelievable number of times raising his hand with no reason and finally, he made a clear false start in the last action (when he was already under yellow card), but the ref didn't show him a well deserved red card (which would have cost him the 14-15 point) for some unexplicable reason...

and he and his coach didn't stop protesting and using trash talk all the time (by the way, being Curatoli a proud southern Italian with bloody character -he's from Naples, he also replied with no fear and didn't behave like an old gentleman )...

basically, Zalomir started the whole feud, but both should have been sanctioned by the ref, who was the weakest link of the entire contest (and the part who made the most mistakes)...

he officially retired at the end of 2017, but a few weeks ago I read something about his possible comeback, targeting the team event at Tokyo 2020...

we can only wait and see...

from today, the very important (for the Olympic Qualification) Team Events...

 

in the Women's Team Sabre, we're already down to the last 8...

 

and the Quarterfinals (starting at 11 a.m. CET) are:

 

France vs Poland

Hungary vs Ukraine

Italy vs Azerbaijan

Russia vs Germany

[phelps 6,805]

Italy (and specifically Gregorio) almost threw it away against a very modest team like Azerbaijan...

but why we always have to complicate our life in this way? and why Gregorio is always used as a closer?

[phelps 6,805]

in the meantime, also the Men's Team Foil has reached the Quarterfinals stage...

 

and the pairings are:

 

Italy vs Ukraine

Germany vs Poland

France vs Great Britain

Russia vs Hungary
