that's one of the reasons why I love Karate hundreds of Nations from all Continents competing at the highest level and most of them capable of having medal chances in the most important tournaments in the World but Tommy the King, AKA Fencing Olympic Champion in 1976 just thinks that's not enough...it's not urban and cool...gotta have to replace it with breakdance

in this case, it's not his first dance in the medal round and also his brother (competing for ) has a few medals already in his curriculum vitae

and finally the total resurrection of Lisa Vittozzi seems to be almost completed she looked lost for the sport just a couple of years ago, missing targets from left and right (and being destroyed by media and fans, myself included )... but Today, after the 2nd win in a row and the new collapse by Tandrevold, she's just a walk in the park away from winning her first Overall World Cup (after winning 1 individual gold -and being part of last year's miracle of our relay- and many more medals at the world champs in the last 2 seasons) well done, Lisa!

I think have vey little chance to be in the top 14, unless make them a good gift in the consolation bracket (and always if they end up facing in the 13th/16th place draw, which is all but certain) but I have the good feeling that would eventually beat and seal the deal for both themselves and (the Americans are already qualified, they shouldn't bother too much if they end up in 4th or 5th place in the OQR...at least, I hope so)

different weapon, too...as Isabel Di Tella is a Epee specialist

potential quarter, instead, between and it might become crucial for the 4th spot in the OQR (and for the interests)

well, a true direct matchup between and and vs by my (often wrong) calculation, need to be at least 14th (beating is absolutely necessary, of course) and just need to win vs to see the Africans overtaken by both rivals

but that's the men's ranking, we were talking of the women's

Sighel magic...the Chinese guy goes down by himself (when he was already a full body behind and he was overtaken well before the curve started) and Pietro is DQ I'm already tired of watching this farce

because she couldn't make the French team anymore... however, there are 20 teams in tomorrow's competition, should go against in the 1st round and might well be overtaken by both and (theoretically, also by , but it's highly unlikely since they're 34 points behind)

no, America's place is for

that's pure sh*t! give us back the 6-team groups!!!

flew to with basically a youth/B team (except for the 3 male sprinters, who in any case are not among the power guys of the discipline, and a couple of veteran specialists like Lamon and Scartezzini)

once again "my" Ambrì's season is over way too early will I ever get a chance to see them playing the finals at least once before I die?

no, I think until after Paris we won't see any detail about the 2026 schedule, my guess it's for the early 2025 (the first release)
