Truzzcat Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 I'm not sure how many of you guys are familiar with Morgan Turner but I believe she is 4-0 against Jaclyn Bouzakis who beat two 1 ranked collegiate wrestlers this year. She also took third at Illinois boys states at 106 when she may have weighed 95lbs and is the defending 43kg cadet world champ. All that to say I thought she was going to push for the 50kg spot for our woman's national team soon so this girl from Japan must be an absolute menace.

The Japanese teched all of her opponents other than Morgan in 28 to 45 seconds. Morgan scoring on her and lasting 1:52 made her the clear second best in the weight class. At the U17 level there could occasionally be some extreme dominance, but this is another level. No one at this tournament came close to that level of dominance. And at age 15? Yikes. Japan keeps rolling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maligned Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 (edited) So I actually wasn't paying close enough attention. India ran away with the Women's team title here. They're about to pick up their 5th gold and 8th total medal. Does this mean something?? Japan is clearly 2nd. We end up 4th with only 6 ladies participating. Our 6 end up with a gold, a bronze, and a 5th. The other 3 were all tough-luck losers to the bronze medalist in the gold medalist bracket-half (meaning they may have been the 3rd best overall in their weights, but they got bad draws). Taina Fernandez at 61kg/134lb got a tech and 3 falls for our gold medal. Killer. Edited August 23 by maligned 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truzzcat Posted August 24 Author Share Posted August 24 not sure if anyone watched Melvin millers match but Im going to need to see the germans blood work and birth certificate. Also the way he was able to exploit the grounding rule and the judge not warning him about dropping to his knees was very frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely would have liked to see him put a few more attempts together rather than going one at a time. Hes kinda made a name for himself by chasing guys down late just did not work here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
