Access to the final, which took place following the semi-final victory over Hungary with the 45-36 score, had previously accrued by overtaking the Ukraine in the 16 for the 45 / 29 and the United States for 45-37 in the quarter-finals.
"A result that repays me for so many sacrifices, especially for the way I arrived." These are the words of the young twenty-year-old Roman saber, who then adds: "In the aftermath of a season start characterized by a first and second place in the world cup, at the end of February a physical illness literally put me out of action, so much so that my participation in the Maribor European Championships last March is being discussed. Thanks to a quick recovery I earned a place in the blue quartet, winning the team bronze. For this I thank my family, my technician and the Army Sports Center; thank you I had the strength to react to them and make up for lost time. "
Unfortunately, Roberta Marzani's advance in yesterday's test of the Giovani female sword stopped at the foot of the podium. The defeat in the quarterfinals against the German Nadine Stahlberg for 15-14 leaves a lot of regret because it reached the end of an assault in which Marzani had managed to recover several times until reaching 13-13.
A bitterness attenuated in part by the conquest of the specialty World Cup, for the second consecutive season.
The athlete from Bergamo had reached the quarter-finals after winning all the assaults in his group and passing the Israeli Kanevski with the score of 15-6, the Swiss Moeschlin for 15-12 and, in the 16 women's board, has the American Amanda Sirico with the score of 15-9.
For Marzani, the team test is scheduled for tomorrow morning instead.
