Vezzali, che è stato il portabandiera per il tempo italiano alla cerimonia di apertura di Venerdì, respinto l'ipotesi che la possibilità di perdere per un altro oro potrebbe segnare la fine della sua illustre carriera. Lei non ha escluso in concorso al Olimpiadi del 2016 in Brasile.
Come il top-ranked donna al mondo, Vezzali ha iniziato come favorito nella competizione pellicola. Il suo primo vero test è venuto nei quarti di finale contro Ines Boubakri della Tunisia, una partita ha vinto 8-7 nei tempi supplementari.
Dopo aver segnato il punto decisivo, cadde sulla schiena in festa e gridò con entusiasmo.
"Oggi era molto difficile", ha detto Vezzali. "Per me, è la quinta Olimpiade e la pressione di vincere stava costruendo sempre di più."
La sua speranza del record olimpico sono stati poi distrutto dal Errigo, la cui medaglia d'argento nella sua prima Olimpiade non farla troppo eccitato.
"Il mio sogno era la medaglia d'oro quindi sono triste", ha detto Errigo. "Per perdere la finale di un punto non è bello. Ma devo essere felice per questo. "
