The Italian women's épée team won silver at the World Cup

(PRIMASPORT) CASABLANCA – The Italian women's épée team won a stunning silver medal in the team competition that closed the first stage of the World Cup in Casablanca. Russia prevailed 32-31 in the final after a minute of overtime, but the Italian women's épée team delivered a true show of strength. The Italian épée team is still there, a force to be reckoned with on the international stage, even with a rotation in the lineup. In Morocco, Coach Dario Chiadò fielded Alberta Santuccio, Gaia Caforio, Lucrezia Paulis, and Gaia Traditi. The first two, returning from their World Championship gold medals last July in Hong Kong, and two newcomers, Paulis and Traditi, replacing Olympians Rossella Fiamingo and Giulia Rizzi. And the outcome of the match, especially given the competition's progress, confirmed the competitiveness and depth of the national team. (PRIMASPORT)
