Yeah, this women's sabre team of Vecchi-Gregorio-Criscio has been shit during the last 3 seasons, they should be replaced with Ciaraglia-mentally unstable Errigo-another random woman picked from the street, that would be much better. 

 

oh, c'mon! Vecchi destroyed the great run by Criscio against a very poor Queroli and Gregorio...well, she almost threw it away against AZE in the quarterfinals and then she finally threw it away against France...

and this is not the first time she does it!

I really don't understand why the coach insists on her as a closer...

 

p.s. they've not been shit, but they got less than what they could...

 

p.p.s. by the way, Ciaraglia to me has a lot more talent than Gregorio...sure, she still need to make some experience at the highest level, but I don't think we're gonna miss Gregorio once we replace her...

total domination by the French guys in the men's Team Foil...

they really destroyed all the opponents...the last one, Germany in the Gold Medal match...

To be fair Germany was missing their best/2nd best athlete (Kleibrink) in the final. Of course this doesnt chance the fact the individually France is clearly stronger than Germany.

well, Klein gave the Italian a lesson in the semifinal match, so, I guess he's good enough to be part of that team...

and Sanita also fenced a lot better than expected against us...

but the French guys today were just untouchable...

in any case, this is a very important result for Germany in Olympic perspective...right now, with FRA and USA well ahead of the rest of the field, Russia look clearly in trouble, Italy are not performing like they should do, the Asians (the unexpected Hong Kong included) are making a lot of points and the whole qualification run might become a lot closer than what I thought in the past months...

the result of the world champs could/should be the key scoring to give the ranking a well defined shape...
