THE SECOND DAY, A GREAT DAY!
In this second day of China, certainly more joy than disappointment for the Azzurri. Came ben
3 medaglie e altri grandi risultati. Una giornata che ci porta al 5° posto nel medagliere mondiale, davvero una bella soddisfazione, con la Cina però che tenta la fuga sugli Stati Uniti. Per noi oggi un argento, un bronzo e soprattutto il primo oro. La medaglia più prestigiosa ce l'ha regalata
Matteo Tagliarol , nella Spada. Una medaglia insperata ma il talento trevigiano nonostante i 25 anni ha mostrato tutta la sua maturità sportiva con una grande prestazione. Dopo aver eliminato in semifinale lo spagnolo Abajo, la finale proponeva il francese
Jeannet . Spadista transalpino di maggiore esperienza rispetto al nostro azzurro, che però non si è fatto intimorire. Dopo una brutta partenza con Jeannet avanti 3-0, è arrivata la rimonta spietata di Tagliarol. Colpi di grande classe, che hanno sorpreso il favorito francese. Fino al 15esimo punto che è valso l'oro e ha fatto esplodere la gioia del nostro giovane spadista, che si è anche regalato un tuffo nel pubblico. Grande emozione per lui e un futuro assicurato nella Spada Azzurra. Poi è arrivato l'importante argento di
Giovanni Pellielo nel tiro a volo. L'azzurro già "medagliato" ad Atene 2004, ha riconfermato le sue doti arrendendosi solo a David
Kostelecky : oro per lui. Alle spalle del nostro argento è arrivato Michael Diamond. Una sfida quella del Tiro a Volo, tra le più difficili della storia olimpica, sotto una
pioggia che but it makes it compete Pellielo it is alleged. Finally we got the bronze in the women's cycling. In the frame of a circuit almost unworkable, with the heavy rain which made it difficult path for bicycles. Our Italian did not appear among the candidates for the podium but
Tatiana Guderzo surprised everyone: players and fans. Guderzo for a great performance, great effort, great desire to reach a dream and an unexpected stroke that allowed him to join the final sprint. Eventually won the English
Cook, followed by Sweden's Johansson and then our Guderzo. A bronze is as good as a gold, another medal to crown a great day full of joys only from the podium. In fact, even positive news from
swimming. Passing round to Mirco Di Tora, Calvi, Galenda, Santucci, Magnini and especially our flagship: Federica Pellegrini
. For the blue in the final qualifying
400m freestyle, where part of favored today that the qualifications have been seen before from first to last stroke. Too bad for
Alessio Boggiatto and Luca Marin (4 th and 5 th place), but could do little in the 400m individual medley final against the three,
Phelps, Lochte and Cseh, came swiftly to the podium. In particular, he confirmed his talent by "extraterrestrial", Michael Phelps
that aims to tear up the record of 7 golds held by Mark Fix, and can definitely do it, while today more than gold has scored a new world record: simply the monstrous phenomenon of Baltimore. Returning to the blue swimming, Alessia Filippi
despite 5th place, got the new Italian record in 40om mixed. Excellent results from
rowing with all our three canoes qualified for the semifinals, with the goal stand. There's good news also on the volleyball
that clearly emulated the good results obtained in the women's volleyball yesterday with Russia. The Azzurri won 3-1
against Japan, it is important to think that we can aim higher than could think about the previous day, as our blue are definitely not the favorites. But probably the best news came from the football
, where our blue make you dream. Against South Korea
, Casiraghi proposes Rocchi, supported by Giovinco and Rossi
. In midfield, the certainties of Montolivo and Cigarini. And after this match against the Koreans, we have further confirmation that we are the favored team. A battleship that shakes the other giants. In fact, South Koreans have trimmed the same treatment done to Honduras. A great
Italy , fast game play, fun with the players that are in memory. Then you add in addition to the game without the added values from our class. From the tactical wisdom of Montolivo that creates and maintains, by the generosity of rock that despite his age 'he feels un'Under 23. Then there is a Giovinco that despite his best day of his contribution and then above that spettaccolo Giuseppe Rossi, the confirmation of this feeder, Italy. The blues hit early in the quarter of an hour, and it is the Italian-American to find the net advantage. Stop in imperfect area and then great tenacity in the middle of the touch area, that the acronym 1-0. But this doubling is not long in coming. This time it's offensive to invent Coda version: large insertion area and is good to go perfectly centered
Rocchi, that alone does not wrong. Even our one overage puts his signature on the 2-0 draw that already seems our opponents. But the jolt comes from South Korea, which hit the crossbar of his head. But shortly after the goal and almost Bocchetti Rossi offers another gem of his: Cleaning up 2 opponents dribbling and shooting from impossible position that comes around very slightly. Italy is still leading in the second half. Just graze the scoring with a wonderful action-axis Giovinco Rocchi Rossi, the jewel of Villareal nearly a third goal with a nice spoon. Then South Korea does not scare us too and we even put the final exclamation point on a game dominated. E 'bravo Acquafresca, just come in, find a boundary area
Montolivo : the blue of the first pulls well and hitting low shot inside the post but the rebound does not fail the final shot of
3-0. Ends up with math skills and awareness in the quarter to be favorites to win. The other big, Argentina and Brazil, have followed Italy also reached the perfect score. Argentina is still no charm against Australia and against the Ivory Coast. Messi is inspired, as usual, but the rest of the team not the same. Ezequiel Lavezzi in the end decided
a quarter of an hour remaining, giving also a joy to Naples. But surely the more joy will have 'received from this Sunday's Olympic Milan. In fact, Brazil straconvince wins and against New Zealand. The green and gold, dominate and triumphs 5-0. Protagonists were
Pato and Ronaldinho: the magical red and black pair. E 'above R80 to enchant the audience in Chinese visibillio. The former Footballer of the Year looks really found, gives acrobatic dribbling, no-look passes, fun and a double major. Pato very well though. The duck gives the first flash assist to Anderson for the lead. Then he signs a beautiful web of head and you see another goal inexplicably canceled. Mark Rafael Sobis then in the end. Daily only disappointment, given by the water polo and also partly by the Artistic Gymnastics. In Artistic Gymnastics disappointed
Vanessa Ferrari, where it was clear that the tendon injury is not disposed deltutto. However, the almost 18 year old managed to qualify in the rotation the team with the 6th place. The
Settebello lose against Croatia
11 to 7. Our blue is only initially held up by work and is already the decisive match against the United States. And speaking of the United States, it is impossible not to mention the big match of the day. This is
of China-US basketball
, spectacular game to start in great discipline. We faced the difficult parts conducted by the immense Chinese Yao Ming
, 2.26 and star of the Houston Rockets against the Dream Team
simply fantastic in the States. To understand the prestige of the match just think that the hall was full of only 18 thousand people in China have followed the match on TV 800milioni of people! The highest Chinese sports authorities, defined as something more than a match. For the United States, a key test to see if this is a good year. Why this Dream Team, which until now had been more Dream Team. A team of monsters that everyone went on their own. But it did not happen. A spectacular team, which has nothing wrong. They have little Ming and his teammates, sometimes humiliated by U.S. technical dominance. Just think of the champions of this squadron:
Jason Kidd, Chris Paul, Williams, Kobe Bryant
, Dwayne Wade
, Redd, Carmelo Anthony, Prince, Lebron James
, Bosh, Boozer and Dwight Howard
.. training which makes me shudder to lovers of the sport. 70-101
ends with the Dream Team who did not want to persecute and got to play at only worthy of the NBA. Needless to say, the United States of America are the big favorites for the gold final having already won 12volt.
