    the more I see it, the more I ask myself how the hell Horton finished ahead of Detti??? Gabriele had already finished his last stroke when Mick still had his arm well outside water...and still, he ended up 6/100 ahead...

    wow! Dahlia saved her ass just for a fraction... she doesn't look in great shape, however... by the way, in the women's 100m fly, behind the usual suspect Sjostrom, we have 7 girls between 57.00 and 57.10

    c'mon! how did they managed to put her 4th??? she was half a meter ahead of the entire field before the final stroke... I want to see a slow motion replay from underwater... to me, the timing's not working properly...

    Detti but also he was clearly ahead of Horton before the last stroke, when he was edged out once again by the Australian for the "real Gold and Silver medal" of the champs... and De Tullio...wow! maybe today we've found a new real deal...

    it will be close, maybe... for sure, they will be surpassed by a lot of teams after the world champs... it will all go down to european particiaption in the next world cup events... however, if they can do it, I'm more than happy...1 competitive team less in the Olympic tournament (and the big chance for Italy to have an easier quarterfinal, if they can climb up to the second place in the ranking)...

    still, he can't finish his stint...-9 for GEO right now... oh...it's over...but it's unbelievable how it takes a second in sabre to lose focus and take tons of consecutive hits, also against someone not even close to your level...
  9. phelps
    lucky hit (after a good gift by the ref)...
  10. phelps
    no, I'm pretty sure by the end of the race they won't...

    7 in a row now for Georgia...
  12. phelps
    Berrè must have read my post...and he's trying everything to make Georgia come back and keep the bout interesting until the end...

    I'm currently watching Italy...but I'm really tempted to switch on the GER vs RUS matchup...

    moreover...since there won't be any African team in the top 16, probably even France or Romania (or maybe China, who knows?) will be able to take advantage of that free spot Africa will leave on the table... we'll see the updated rankings later, but I think men's team sabre is one of the least complicated questions in terms of Olympic qualification...
  15. phelps
    by the way, all very close matches in these men's sabre quarters...

    yeah, they will get it, finally (ITA, GER and HUN will qualify through the World Ranking, Russia will be easily the best European team outside the top 4 in the world)... after the bad result here in Budapest, France is almost out of contention...the other European teams are just chanceless...and USA and Iran would need more than a miracle to make the top 4 and keep one of the big 3 Europeans out of the top 4, leaving the Russian home next year)...

    in the Foil events, no, a medal is not enough...actually, a gold medal alone is not enough... in the other weapons, a medal is enough, sometimes it's even "great"...provided you lose against stronger opponents and not because your mind has gone elsewhere in the key moments, wasting chances you normally don't get...

    as an Italian fan, I'm more than happy because I didn't expect these girls going so well in this tournament... as a fencing lover, I can't close my eyes and not look at what actually happened on the piste...it's not a question of being positive or negative...it's just analyzing the bout trying not to get influenced by my personal sympathy...

    no, it wasn't a perfect assault at all...slow start, both Isola and Clerici great on 2 stints but awful in 1 of the 3 bouts...even Fiamingo making it unnecessarily complicated in the last stint...
  22. phelps
    a easier win was definitely possible... the USA are highly overestimated in this discipline...all of those girls are absolutely nothing special... CHN, KOR, RUS, ROU, FRA...all of those teams are surely better than them, even if the results have gone differently in the last couple of years... by the way, this is a key win for Italy...if we can make the podium, our chances to qualify for the Olympics definitely improve a lot... even if Ukraine's win over Poland is not a good result for us...
  23. phelps
    because those are very different kind of races...in world cup races normally there are less participants (a lot less) and most times the top sailors don't show up in those races... World Cup is kinda a second tier event...it could give people a wrong idea about the actual situation of a sailing class...
  24. phelps
    not necessarily...if they have a deep enough program, some Nations could choose to use different swimmers for the mixed relay, not used in any other relay competition... so, you should consider that just as another race...
  25. phelps
    12 quota for each relay is correct, as they actually qualify directly to the Games... but you should consider also the mixed freestyle relay, as it's an official Olympic event (and follows the same rules as the other relays, if I remember well)...
