e Giulia Rizzi porta a 4 l'incredibile bottino di vittorie individuali di ieri, trionfando per la prima volta in carriera in una gara individuale di CdM di Spada. male invece gli uomini. e per nulla soddisfacente anche l'inizio di giornata odierno, con la squadra di Fioretto maschile che a Tokyo non va oltre il 3.posto, dopo un'inopinata e pesantissima (45-30) sconfitta contro il Giappone in semifinale. speriamo che le fiorettiste e le 2 squadre di spada risollevino il bilancio domenicale.

wow! just wow! che giornata per i colori azzurri... nella scherma esce una clamorosa tripletta che neanche ai tempi d'oro: Tommy Marini vince a tokyo nel Fioretto maschile, Alice Volpi a Belgrado in quello femminile e Martina Criscio si regala un pomeriggio di gloria inatteso, vincendo addirittura un torneo Grand Prix a Orleans, nella tana del leone francese, nella Sciabola femminile. completano l'orgasmico trionfo Francesca Palumbo nel fioretto donne, Luca Curatoli nella sciabola uomini e Chiara Mormile nella sciabola donne, tutti e 3 sul terzo gradino del podio. il tutto, in attesa di spadisti e spadiste, tutt'ora in gara a Vancouver. come se non bastasse, Simone Alessio completa la trionfale campagna del suo Grand Prix di Taekwondo vincendo anche il torneo finale a Riyadh (KSA). peccato solo per l'imprevista (e dolorosa) defaillance del Mondiale, che resta una macchia neanche tanto piccola sulla sua splendida stagione. e peccato per Vito Dell'Aquila che, sempre a Riyadh, perde di misura la semifinale (rivincita dell'ultimo atto del torneo iridato da lui conquistato 2 settimane fa) contro il solito coreano Jang Jun e poi oggi non riesce nemmeno a disputare la finale per il bronzo causa un risentimento muscolare a una gamba. meno entusiasmante, invece, ciò che sta accadendo a Bogotà nei mondiali di Sollevamento Pesi. se escludiamo il promettente 4.posto di Sergio Massidda nei -61kg maschili, il resto della spedizione azzurra per ora è un autentico disastro, con ben 2 "fuori classifica" del bronzo olimpico Mirko Zanni e di Lucrezia Magistris nelle rispettive categorie. poco incoraggiante anche il 12.posto complessivo di Giulia Imperio. risultati, Massidda a parte, che mettono i nostri anche in una scomodissima posizione nel ranking di qualificazione olimpica, anche se siamo solo all'inizio dell'avventura. speriamo in qualche colpo di coda dei pochi che devono ancora gareggiare.

yes, at least when it's about Moroccans enjoying a win of their football team (actually, it's the first time a foreign community goes on the streets for that reason). normally, the troubles here start only when people show up for political reasons.

yeah, last time there were no major accidents...let's hope it stays like that, just joy without idiots spoiling the party we'll see tomorrow the final reports on the night.

Milan, province of Casablanca, act II fireworks like it's New Year's Night

let's turn things around... if the Russians are allowed to comeback to the world of Olympic sport, do you think some Nations could boycott the Games? (and the qualifications events featuring them) personally, I hope in a clear statement from the top world powerhouses saying: "it's us or them", no margin for any compromise. and not because of this fuckin' war, but because to me Russia still haven't paid the prize of their State organized blatant cheat between 2008 and 2014 (at least, but I'm sure they did it also in the last 8 years and watching some of their internal events this year, they're still doin' it in force). p.s. I still hope Macron has the balls to say: "you cantake all the decisions you want, in any case I will never allow a Russian citizen to enter the French territory until any sanction related to the war is in place. point. like it or not. Bach sucks. Fuck him. it would be a way to get a good result in a wrong way, but still.

and don't forget the women...we have an all-Italian affair in the first semifinal (Criscio vs Mormile), which means we have at least a girl in the final for the second WC stage in a row.

no injury...she just lost her focus and went from a 6-3 lead to a 6-15 loss in 55 seconds. p.s. among the top 16, Volpi is 30, the Korean Oh is 37...all the other 14 are 28 or less... and among the top 32, there are only 3 more women just over 30. I wouldn't say it was a competition "full of grandmas".

crazy night in Bogotà... first, the great Chen Lijun gets beaten by the hometown hero Mosquera despite a good lead taken in the Snatch phase in the -67kg, then Indonesia makes an unbelievable double in the men's -73kg, where Gold and Bronze medallists came directly from Group B (shame on the technical committee ).

well, imho we should split the weight classes till the Lightweights (where Europe should be treated like any other Continent, as there are more or less the same amount of good fighters in all the zones all around the Globe) and from Welterweights on (where it's almost only about Europe, with very few exceptions coming from the Panamerican zone and/or Oceania mainly*)... *someone could say that Asia also has Nations like and a few others, but to me those Nations are only competitive if they can benefit of corrupted judges...almost all of their medallists in the past have always been far away from being even decent fighters, reaching those results only because of...we know...
