Vezzali adds another world cup win

New York, June 14 - Valentina Vezzali has won the World Cup after winning the world team title. It was the 51st victory for Vezzali.

Valentina Vezzali has proved to be unbeatable after winning world titles, Olympic titles and world cups. Throughout the tournament, she received only 23 hits, less than four for each match. Her closest bout was a 15-7 win over American Olympian Erinn Smart. She defeated Russian Eugyenia Lamonova in the final by an 11-5 score.

2000 Olympic team member Iris Zimmerman took bronze at the event, losing to silver medalist Lamonova in the semifinals. Zimmerman will not compete in the 2004 Olympic Games as the United States has only one athlete qualified in women’s foil - New York’s Erinn Smart, who took 27th at the event.
