CARDIFF \u2013<\/strong> Italy starts off with gold right away Cardiff 2026 European Paralympic Fencing Championships<\/strong>. On the opening day of the continental tournament, the Azzurri won the title in Mixed Team Foil<\/strong> thanks to Andreea Mogos, Sofia Garnero, Emanuele Lambertini and Michele Massa<\/strong>, protagonists of a final won 20-16 against Hungary.<\/p>\n

A particularly significant success because it comes at the debut in a major international event of the new formula of the mixed relay<\/strong>, which includes teams made up of two men and two women from categories A and B and which will be included in the programme of the next Los Angeles 2028 Paralympics<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Italy thus secured its first European title in Cardiff at the end of a practically perfect performance.<\/p>\n

Italy dominates in the semifinals: France defeated 20-2<\/h3>\n

The team led by the coach, who is the number one seed in the draw and exempted from the quarter-final round, Alessandro Paroli<\/strong>, flanked on the bench by the coach Andrea Baldini<\/strong>, made his debut directly in the semi-final.<\/p>\n

There was no contest against France. The Azzurri took control of the attack from the first thrusts, closing with a clear 20-2<\/strong> and earning the pass to the final.<\/p>\n

Hungary was waiting for them in the final act.<\/p>\n

Mogos opens, Massa closes: Hungary defeated 20-16<\/h3>\n

Even in the decisive match, Italy started strong. Andreea Mogos<\/strong> immediately brings the Azzurri forward, while Sofia Garnero and Emanuele Lambertini<\/strong> they manage to manage the advantage and contain the Hungarian team's attempts at a comeback.<\/p>\n

In the fourth and final fraction it's up to Michael Massa<\/strong> complete the job: the final 20-16 delivers to Italy the European champion title in mixed team foil fencing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u00abWinning as a team is always special and doing it with this mixed formation, men and women together, gives even more emotions.<\/strong>\u00bb, commented the four Italian fencers at the end of the competition.<\/p>\n

Coach Paroli is also satisfied: \u00abPersonally, and with the entire staff, I say well done to these boys and girls for how they fought, helping each other and practically not making any mistakes.<\/strong>\u00bb.<\/p>\n

The podium of the Mixed Team of foil therefore sees Italy first, Hungary second, Great Britain third and France fourth<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Spada, Italy stops at the foot of the podium<\/h3>\n

On the same day, a fourth place for the Mixed Team epee<\/strong>, composed of Emanuele Lambertini, Amelio Castro, Sofia Garnero, and Julia Markowska<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Directly admitted among the top four thanks to the ranking, the team led by the head of the weapons Michael Tarantini<\/strong> and from the master Daniele Pantoni<\/strong> faced Ukraine in the semi-final.<\/p>\n

The Ukrainians, who would later go on to win the European title, prevailed 20-9<\/strong>, forcing the Azzurri into the bronze medal match against hosts Great Britain.<\/p>\n

The battle for third place was much more even. Italy and Great Britain fought back and forth, but in the end it was the British who prevailed with a score of 20-17<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Azzurri thus achieved fourth place. The European title goes to\u2019Ukraine<\/strong>, ahead of Poland and Great Britain.<\/p>\n
