today, instead, we have the most expected semifinals...nobody got even close to get a surprising entry among the forelast round of the competition...

 

we can find a couple of unexpected players only among those who are going to fight in the repechage matches...

 

for Italy, yesterday there was a disappointing outing by Elios Manzi in the men's -60kg (not so much because he lost to :KAZ Smetov in his 3rd fight, but because how he fought in all of his 3 bouts, including the 2 he narrowly won)...

 

today, it's even more disappointing...

 

2018 junior world champion Manuel Lombardo first had to escape an already lost match against :ISR Shmailov, then he was too tired in the quarterfinal's match and he didn't understand anything against :MDA Vieru (who already beat him a couple of time earlier this season), who easily beat him thanks to a painful arm lock (I hope he won't have any trouble against Iadov in the repechage match later on because of that)...

 

European Games/Championships runner-up Matteo Medves, instead, was joked again by :JPN Abe (as it happened last year)...but that was well within expectations...

 

the real disaster came once again from Odette Giuffrida, who lost at the golden score against :RUS Kuziutina after more than 5 mins in which she didn't do absolutely nothing...and that's unacceptable by an Olympic Silver medallist, who started the competition with explicit ambition of coming back home with at least a medal...
