U23 Draws Are Out

Jimenez wins her semi-finals 7-4 over the Azeri.  She will face Japan's Umi Ito.  Ito hasn't seen the second period in three Techs today and has outscored opponents 33-2.  She beat Jimenez via 10-0 Tech at 2020 U20s for Gold.

It appears Howk is out at 55 KG as the Russo lost to her Indian opponent.

Ergo she will not be pulled back in to Repechage.

Kennedy Blades punches her ticket to the U23 76 KG finals with a 28S 10-0 Tech over Lithuania.  Early signs point to her facing off against an Indian in Reetika Reetika.

Reetika lost to Skylar Grote at 72 KG via 4-0 Decision at the 2023 Zagreb earlier this year.  She also lost to Amit Elor at the 2022 U20 Worlds via 12-1 Tech at 72 KG.

It weren't no epic come-from-behind, mate.

1-1, 26S to go in the 1st.

4-3 at the break, in favor of the Moldovan.

TD with 1M45S to go in the 2nd for Hardy to go up 5-4.

Garbage last second TD with 1S remaining to win 7-4.

That IS true.

... but, still, he did come from behind. 😉

So this is how they are running the Medal matches, btw.

Mat A and Mat B both run the Bronze matches simultaneously.

Then Mat B runs the Gold match.  Mat B is in the center, so that is why.

That said... we are out at 57 KG... Hardy is up 2nd on Mat A, though.

2M33S - Red Challenge, looking for a 2 TD there.  He clearly had the knee down, it seems?  I think he gets it.  He doesn't.
5-2 Georgia
1M50S - 2 TD Hardy
5-4 Georgia
1M5S - 2 TD Hardy (wicked scramble)
6-5 Hardy
10S - 2 TD Hardy
8-5 Hardy
END OF MATCH

Hardy gets both ankles and somehow the Georgian holds a quadpod and slips out, and Hardy loses the challenge. The Georgian gets a single leg and Hardy counters, they scramble for a while and Hardy comes out on top. Then it happens again for Hardy to go up 6-5. Incredible work, plus a final takedown of his own after the Georgian was gassed.

Pretty sure Russia is running away with the U23 title at this point, right?

Isn't Belarus also included w/ the AIN designation as well?

Their combined scoring does tip the scales a wee bit, no?

... unofficially, of course.
