The next Grand Prix of floret is scheduled at the Inalpi Arena. The route to the races will be Thursday 5 February and the program, with dispute of the only individual test, previews the same day the female qualifications, Friday 6 the male and female qualifications, Saturday 7 the male and female finals that will collect in a single day in pedana all the excellence of the world floret.
In Turin the Italy of the female floret starts again from three after the third consecutive gold in as many teams played in this beginning of season in the World Cup. A good business card to climb the Turinese pedane in the individual test, where Martina Favaretto took the gold in Majorca and the bronze in Busan behind Martina Batini, who instead centered the victory.
