Poland stayed on top for a long while, despite having to substitute one fencer due to injury. After 7 of the 9 matches, Poland was in the lead  33-30. Enters Paolo Pizzo, a highly accomplished and intensive fencer who evens the score to 39-39. After the 9th and final match, the score was still tied; 41-41. In overtime Alfredo Rota made the final touch and wins the competition for Italy.

This was the first fencing event ever in Qrodo and everybody in the team were very excited about the oppertunity. Normally we broadcast over the 3G network, unless we have better options. This time we were able to use the ADSL line of Sport and Rehab Center that have their facilities in Åkeshovshallen. Many thanks.
