Spain hold off Italy, Netherlands win third straight
Interesting standings are developing at the Olympic Qualification Tournament in Trieste after another sensational day of action on Tuesday. As Hungary and Canada are still tied for the lead in group A, each winning their match on day 3, in group B the Netherlands are now in the top position after Spain topped Italy 9-8 in the day's last match-up. And with the Dutch side posting their third straight win beating Germany 9-8 coming back from a 4-6 deficit things could become very close if hosts Italy will manage to beat the Netherlands on Wednesday. In other results France won a key match-up with Russia 12-11 on a late winner from Michael Izdinsky to now take hold of the 3rd place in group A. Kazakhstan celebrated their first win as South Africa was defeated 6-11.
