Maxime Pianfetti is the last French survivor in the men’s saber draw at the World Championships held in Milan. Silver medalist a year ago, the Frenchman dominated for his entry into the running the Polish Olaf Stasiak without the slightest difficulty (15 touches to 7). In the round of 16, he will face Canadian Paul Gordon.
On the other hand, the competition is already over for Bolade Apithy, beaten by the South Korean Hansol Ha (12-15), and for Sébastien Patrice, the recent European bronze medalist losing to the American Mitchell Saron (11-15).
