nothing at the moment...no Federscherma twitter nor facebook updates... if you are a subscriber of one of these social networks (I'm not...and never I will be), feel free to ask Federscherma if they can post some news...

unfortunately there's no live streaming... and today no live results, as well... p.s. but I can tell you that Estonia are in the semifinals, after beating UKR in the round of last 16 and USA in the quarterfinals (and this is all I know, thanks to USA fencing twitter)... p.p.s. I wonder how FIE insists on having world cup events in places where you can't find any live broadcasting nor basic info about results... imho, all Countries like China and Cuba should be banned from organizing international events, unless they start looking like the rest of the world...

yeah, and today I didn't really understand how they chose the team...

the problem is that all those events are not shown following a logical masterplan... most times they have random time slots or they choose not the best game available on that given day or, even worse, they just "forget" to follow important parts of an event... not to be mentioned, they often relegate all these sports to tape delay broadcasts in the middle of the night or even days after they're over...

and in fact there are a lot of subscribers from Italy, France and Spain... but unfortunately now it's becoming more and more difficult to watch them in most part of Europe since they launched their fuc*in' satellite Es'hail (or Su'hil or whatever you want to name it)... when all channels were on Hotbird first and Nilesat then, it was an everyday party...now I'd need a 2.5/3m dish (and probably it wouldn't work as well, as their beam is really small and officially don't cover northern Italy)... not to say that for us their price is very economical (their full pack comes away for less than half of what we need to subscribe the sky Italia & dazn double, the minimum combination to follow our Serie A and the most important tournaments in Europe -and still those managed by sky Italia are not shown in their entirety, as the EPL only has 1 match per time slot or the German Bundesliga is covered only with 3, sometimes 4 matches per gameday)...

that's a good question... I only hope it's not an attempt to slow her down to protect Di Francisca/Volpi/Errigo on their way to Tokyo (because something makes me think the women's Foil team for the next 2 seasons is gonna be stuck with those 3, in the good and in the bad days)... p.s. thanks for the link to the La Habana results...

she was already on the podium (3rd place) twice last season, in Tauberbischofsheim and Aneheim (this was a GP event)... by the way, on a day ended with Deriglazova on top and also Kiefer and Errigo (despite all of her troubles in the past couple of years) on the podium, I wouldn't say it was loaded with surprises and upset (even if some of them still happened -as always- in the early rounds)...

I wonder if this is what Italy should expect next June in Lausanne, too...

not the best day for Italy...Valcepina's silver over 500m saved the championship, but probably is going to stay as the only Italian medal, unless the women's relay skates some magic tomorrow (and it's unlikely to happen)... the boys...well, better not to make any comment...

Paris...c'est toujours Paris... and it's always a special place to win a world cup event, especially if you're Italian... good job, Alessio!

and after all the controversies between Errigo and the Italian federation, in the first women's Foil competition of 2019 it looks that Arianna decided to take it seriously... and she's one of the only 2 Italian girls still in contention at the quarterfinal stage in Katowice, together with the outsider Francesca Palumbo, who upset Ysaora Thibus among others so far (which means that all the others have been a real disaster, starting with Volpi, out in round #2 after losing against the Youth World and Olympic champion, Yuka Ueno from Japan...meanwhile Elisa Di Francisca lost a tight battle against her nemesis, the queen of foil, Inna Deriglazova in the round of last 16)...
