The FIE just uploaded a new set of videos and here is a rare one: Video of Valentina Vezzali losing a bout in the 2009-2010 season!
The Challenge Jeanty (Marseille Grand Prix) has been the only FIE individual event where Vezzali has not walked away with the gold medal. In this semi-final match, she loses to Koreas Nam 15-14.
Just how dominant in Vezzali? In the 2009-2010 season she has placed 1st in all events except for Marseille, where she lost to Nam 15-14. In the 2009 world championships she lost early, placing 5th.
In terms of FIE points, Vezzali has 428 for the season. The 2nd place fencer is Elisa Di Francisca (ITA) with 298. For Grand Prix events, 1st place earns 64 points and for standard world cups 1st is worth 32 points.
