| Vezzali and Trillini; two names already
well known for their undertakings in summer '96, at the Atlanta Olympiad
to be exact. Adding Bianchedi and Giacometti, the two other azure pearls,
able to give the Italian foil female team the third consecutive
world title. The fencing movement confirms this way to keep on being
our cutting edge, mainly in the rose sector. The Italian girls are on
the world or Olympic podium since 17 years consecutively. A extraordinary
no stopping record begun in 1981 with Dorina Vaccaroni and ending just
with the gold of the Italian quartet in Switzerland.
That must be indubitable catalogued off legend limits. Only this way it can be defined the athletes who to count their personal medals must use calculator. For once the abundance does not spoil. It is must be underlined the extraordinary prolificness just when successes keeps on arriving as it were foregone. It causes sensation the success of the Italian sport in a few historical tradition discipline. But it must make us even more pride the fact that our fencing school brings always victories. It is easy to surprise, confirm oneself is quite more difficult. Repeat it for 17 years is an undertaking, to say the least, titanic. |
