Women's sabre quarter finals

Well, the last 8 came and went very quickly, but it is the Americans again leading the way with two more medalists this evening, colours still to be decided. Nicole Glon beat Magyar (HUN) 15-10 and now faces Kata Varhelyi (HUN) who beat China's Fei Li, also 15-10. In the other half of the draw the two Italians Caterina Navarria and Marta Ciaraglia fought it out, with Navarria ending the dream for the top seed 15-8. She will now face Diamond Wheeler who beat Elizaveta Kirianova (RUS) 15-7. With the two American's in opposite sides the one-two is still on but I'm sure Varhelyi and Navarria will have something to say about that.
