The blue team will have the chance to make up for it tomorrow in one of the three repechage series, which will give the pass for the five-ring games to six other nations with the same logic as today of the first two of each match, a not impossible undertaking even if it will be it is necessary to risk a little more on the changes, which today appeared fluid but quite safe, and in any case it should be underlined that the eleventh overall time bodes well.
The 8 finalist teams, in addition to the two from Italy, are the United States, Great Britain, Germany, Australia, Holland and France.
