A day after Italian fencer's ouster by Xiao, Italy lose to China in women's team semis
Two-time individual champion Vio was defeated by China's Xiao Rong in their women's foil semi-final on Sept 4 in one of the biggest shocks of these Games.
The Italian, who uses prosthetic arms having had all four limbs amputated as a child when she contracted meningitis, managed to salvage a bronze in that event.
"We'll make it again, I mean tomorrow we have to make it, at this point it's OK for the Chinese to win once, but not twice," she had said.
"So tomorrow we have the Chinese in the semi-finals again, the team, and we're going for it." However, Vio's hopes of taking advantage of a second opportunity to win gold in the team event were dashed as Italy lost 45-41 to China in a hard-fought semi-final.
The Chinese went on to clinch gold with a 45-34 win over Hungary, while the Italians won the bronze by beating Hong Kong 4533 and Vio congratulated her teammates in her customary euphoric style.
