guess what? a medal for Italy not coming from the Foil events! on the other side, in the women's team foil, we have our well expected final between Italy and Russia, after in the semis they smashed Germany and France respectively...

Today's stuff completed... luckily we didn't have to wait that long to get all the infos...

just another doubtful outing for the Italian epee guys... I guess it's time to kick some technical directors (and Garozzo) out...I don't know how they can even think of winning the really important bouts with this tactics... I hope Di Veroli gets ready for this level soon...

naaa...it's me that I'm quite boiled because of this hot & humid day here in Milan... fixed...

women's foil still stuck at quesrterfinals... ITA vs UKR and HUN vs GER in the top half of the draw, FRA vs POL and ESP vs RUS in the bottom half...

living dangerously... first we beat Poland 20-18, then Ukraine 16-15...should I be optimistic also for the semifinal bout against the Russians?

and finally China get a Gold medal (in the women's team sabre)... in this same weapon, unlucky draw for Iran, who had to face KOR already in the quarterfinals... in the men's team foil, instead, continues the bad championship for Japan (only Bronze for them) and the great championship for HKG (once again in the big final)... more updates to come...

@mrv86 thanks for your help with the final results...

It looks like the scoring system has stopped working once again in the middle of the men's team foil quarterfinals... so, I guess we're gonna have some delay before we see the final results of today's events...

I'm pretty sure that the Spanish TV channel Teledeporte (you can watch it also in live streaming, normally no VPN needed, but in case, even a free one like Hola works perfectly) will broadcast the Med Games 24h/day (or close to that)...

and once again "only" Silver with men's Foil and no medal with a different weapon... definitely not the championship someone would expect from Italy... let's hope it's just a bad week...

I hope that also the women's sabre team gets a chance...they've been good in the individual event and I think they deserve an important stage like the AG, where they could shine...

I guess they have troubles with official communications, since there's also no live scoring due to poor internet connection at the venue (which is the main indoor arena in Cuba, by the way)... at least some info are available through the social networks in a reasonable time...

in the men's Sabre, today Iran couldn't stop the Koreans from getting the triple (Gold, Silver & Bronze)... meanwhile, Hong Kong had their greatest day ever in the women's epee, winning good 2 medals (Gold & Bronze) in 1 single event... so, the individual events are over...and Korea are already on top of the medal table with 3 Gold medals, followed by a surprising Hong Kong team (2 Gold medals for them ) and Japan (only 1 Gold medal for the Country of the Rising Sun)... almost untouchable the presence of China... completely invisible all the other Nations (except for the "classic" men's epee medal by KAZ)...

Vecchi... she basically destroyed all that her teammates built... I don't know why they insist on her when we have a lot of youngsters who are already better than her...
