After the medals in rowing and the feat of Paltrinieri in swimming, here is the third place of the girls in foil

TOKYO. The first time for the Italians in rowing, after the first women’s boxing medal won yesterday by Irma Testa, who only has to wait for the semifinal and eventual final to get to know the metal. It is the female surprises that disperse the blue medal table, which fills up, rises to 19 (20 with that of the ring yet to be defined) but above all it breaks the gold taboo by going fishing where there are no precedents, to fill the gaps left by tradition.

The sixth day of the Olympics is the richest, at the moment, for the blues on the day when an Italian from Rimini takes a historic medal in skeet shooting, the bronze, but for San Marino. The blue team takes a gold, a silver, two bronzes and the sum is a sequence 2-7-10. The sigh of relief of the Italia Team, which has so far stopped in Vito dell’Aquila, comes in the morning from rowing, with the women’s light weight duo.

Never had a women’s blue armor won an Olympic gold, despite the oar tradition that from the Abbagnale downwards is powerful. Also for this reason it is a liberating scream that of Federica Cesarini and Valentina Rodini, who at the finish do not realize they have finished first and do not believe it until they say so from the judges’ motorboat. Then, he dedicates it to Filippo Mondelli, the blue tank top who was supposed to be in Tokyo and was struck down by a tumor. Always from rowing, and always in the two light weights, a bronze comes: but it’s the men, with the couple Stefano Oppo-Pietro Willy Ruta.

Shines the silver of Gregorio Paltrinieri. The Olympian of the 1500 style in Rio was held back by mononucleosis, and after the bad batteries the 800 final with a second place that could be even more is a warning in view of the 1,500 and 10 kilometers at sea, the marathon that at this point Greg knows he can cope.

It is bronze women’s team foil, where in the final Erica Cipressa, daughter of the coach. “Bronze is not a lost gold”, claim the blue, but it is not excessive to say that once upon a time there was the foil dream team, and that at the end of the Olympics the Italian fencing will have to look in the mirror.

Missed passage also for Jessica Rossi, gold medal in London 2012 in the Olympic pit, who suffers the curse of the standard-bearer: she does not even qualify for the final. The girls of volleyball win, 3-0 to Argentina and third victory with only one set sold, and Settebello with a comeback on the strong US national team. Federica Pellegrini returns to the water for the mixed relay race, a strange man-woman formula that transforms it into a kind of ‘war of the sexes’ in the pool. And it’s final. (HANDLE).
