    Bojko is Russian.

    Think Gruchalla has a good chance. Would like Trillini to win, though: has a nice style and smiles a lot...

    Probably Gruchala, Vezzali or Trillini - it's hard to bet on anyone else.

    But I'd like to see Aida Mohamed win - she's consistently high in the rankings but never seems to win the majors (not since she won the World Student Games anyway!) And she's really nice.

    Well,
    Thanks for the clarification on Boyko,
    If I were a betting man, I'd have to go with the Trillini or Vezzali, however I saw gruchala fence here in NYC world cup- and man is she good. There's my picks for the top 3.

    Vezzali won almost every time relying mainly on counters with the old times. Could she even be stopped with the new ones...?
    I would like to see Carlesu Badea or Trillini.
    And what did make this surface now, Boo? Aren't the WC way up there in October?

    I don't know, it appeared on the list of recent posts (about 5 to 7 down) BEFORE I replied to the thread: so it appeared without anyone replying to it...

    Very odd and confusing... World Champs are in October, WF World Cups start very shortly... there are rumours of a few retiring post-Athenes - will be interesting to see.

    You know, to turn this policital, after considering this more carefully, I have say that the Italians have a pretty good team - Vanni Cassara and Sanzo have a pretty good chance at winning woman's foil.

    I think they may be a little offended by that statement (either if men's foil has been brought closer to the level of women's foil with the introduction of the new timings... )
