The clear injustice against her Doras Gundura in the fencing quarterfinals at Olympic Games no… it didn’t happen like that. A little while after bwin’s Team Future athlete showdown with the French Manon Apiti-Brun, who finally reached the gold medalthe Italian referee of the match, Luigi Martilotti, was attacked online by… angry Greeks.
“Worst referee ever. We all saw what you did. Shame!“, “Only a blind man would call you a good referee” and “A lot of money, right? Don’t you see colors, especially green, twice?“, were the most…worldly comments he received under a photo he uploaded a few hours after the race on Facebook, declaring his pride in his participation in the Olympic Games. Yes, the Italian referee he was forced to “lock” his Instagram profile because of the “attack”.
It is recalled that immediately after the match, Gundura reported tearfully on camera “…I have some objections to the strikes, but I wouldn’t want to use the refereeing as an excuse. The excuse for arbitration is for the weak. When I calm down, I will see it more clearly. But, I think it was about 14-14 and decided on the point».
Her coach, Thanasis Delenikas, was not so modest. “What happened today is not an injustice. It’s a scandal! A French girl was playing and she had to pass. It was a match that should have ended 15-9 in our favor. It is a huge injustice. It’s a shame that some play with children’s effort. It’s unfair!“, he stated.
However, it is worth noting that the Gundura gifts he will take it premium for its acquisition by bwinas her sponsor decided to reward her for the effort and partially restore the huge injustice she suffered.
