Quaterfinals have begun

 At 11.40 the quaterfinals will start. At the yeallow piste we'll see Swiss, who had a rather comfortable victory over Belarus, facing Poland who defeted Canada in the 16-tablau. Over at the green piste, we find Ukraine and Estonia. Estonia won against France with 45-40 and I guess that the results in this competition isn't really what the French hoped for. Ukraine sent China to the tableu of the last places. Italy and Russia are at the red piste, Russia who had a even match with Germany that finished 32-28 and Italy who to defete Venezuela after a thrilling last period. Finally in the quarterfinals, at the blue piste, Korea and Hungary has started as I'm writing. The Korean victory in yeasterday's individual competition has surely improved the team spirit.

I will return to the floor, taking the chance to watch the fencing close up, and hopefully get a few good photos.
