The last day of the individual competitions let us observed the so far greatest triumph of Italian fencers in the men's foil. The Italians overwhelmed everyone else tooking gold, silver and one bronze medal. The atmosphere in the Palaghiaccio arena was fantastic as one of the semi finalists was the sicilian fencer Giorgio Avola. The audience provided him with an amazing support even though he fenced against his Italian teammate Valerio Aspromonte.The matches between the Italians were almost equal and the match itself was an excellent demonstration of the superb technique of Italian school. The only non-Italian fencer in the semi final Victor Sintes was whiped out by Cassara who appeared

 

The women's epee competition on the contrary was dominated by Romanian and Chinese athletes. In both of the semifinals matches the Romanian girl fenced against Chinese. Despite the fact that both of the Romanians were a few seconds from the victory the Chinese amazingly turn the matches on their side and fought final match against each other. The world champion in the women's epee category became Li Na (CHN) defeating Yujie Sun (CHN) 13:7. Both bronze medals took Romanian fencers Ana Branza and Anca Maroiu. The women's epee is the only category Italians not having their athlete in the final eight.
