We now have our men's epee semi finalists.
In the first quarter final Marco Leombruno (ITA) beat Teemu Seeve (FIN) 15-12 and will now face Robin Kase (SWE) whose speed overcame the power of the German Nikolaus Bodoczi 15-11.
In the other half vocal Russian Nikita Glazkov beat Jozef Portes (POL) and now faces second seed Andrea Santarelli (ITA) who beat Zhibo Shi 15-9. Santarelli was the highest seeded fencer left in the draw by some way and none of the other semi-finalists were even ranked in the top 16 after the poules.
Here's a photo of Kase (SWE) and Bodoczi (GER) in action, and both moving very quickly!
Finals will start shortly, so get the popcorn in, sit back and enjoy and will we see an American or an Italian 1-2?
