7.53: As mentioned we start at 8.00 with the male sword. Santarelli is the guarantee, but also pay attention to Vismara and Cimini who have already reached the podium this season in the World Cup. Di Veroli is instead the young man ready to amaze.
7.46: Later the group stage of the sabers will begin (Michela Battiston, Rossella Gregorio, Martina Criscio and Eloisa Passaro). So far this season, on an individual level, the Italians have done less well than in teams, but the European Championship could mark a turning point.
7.42: We start with the swordsmen. On the platform Andrea Santarelli, Gabriele Cimini, Federico Vismara and Davide Di Veroli. The chances of seeing a blue on the podium again are there, but it will be a difficult race and where many are fighting for a medal.

7.32: Yesterday the first gold of the event arrived thanks to Daniele Garozzo, but it was a triumph day for the blue men’s foil, as Tommaso Marini (silver) and Giorgio Avola (bronze) also got on the podium.
7.30: Hello, let’s start the live broadcast of the third day of the European fencing championships.
Good morning friends of OA Sport and welcome to LIVE LIVE of the European fencing championships. Preparations for the third day of competition in Antalya (Turkey): today it’s up to swordsmen and sabers get off the platform to compete for the European title.
On paper, the men boast greater podium chances; Andrea Santarelli is the most suitable fencer to win a medal, but the other Azzurri representatives who respond to the names of Gabriele Cimini, Davide Di Veroli and Federico Vismara.
It would be a feat to blow the bank in the female saber, the top-3 is still a realistic goal for the tricolor contingent formed by Michela Battiston, Martina Criscio, Rossella Gregorio and Eloisa Passaro. The last (and only) continental gold in the discipline was worn around his neck Ilaria Bianco back in 2003.
Fencing: Genoa will host the 2025 European Championships
The first bouts will begin at 8.00 Italian time, semifinals and finals scheduled from 17.30. Through LIVE LIVE curated by OA Sport you will have all the updates in real time: stay in our company, the blue fencers will be able to entertain us. See you later!
