Yup, though it should be noted that she is not naturalized (she has Canadian citizenship through her father).

Deguchi's medal is also Canada's first ever medal at the Judo Worlds by a woman!

and this disgusting performance by the Italian squad continues...

once again, all of our specialists out by the 3rd round...just 5 matches won in 4 days, nobody able to get passed the 3rd round...

but when you don't take part in most of the international tournaments and you don't build a "crowded" team with all the possible variations, it's obvious that you can't get anything out of that...

once again...fire Murakami (and all the judo officials of our National Federations)!!!!!

men's -81kg pool finals

Mollaei looks absolutely on fire, he's put on a show so far...but the Belgian Casse is also very "hot"...at the moment, they have been by far the best 2 athletes from today's action...it's a real shame they have to face each other already in the pool final (quarterfinal round, if you prefer)...

Mollaei looks great so far , after 3 matches he wasn't on Tatami even for 2 minutes in total so far . but now this is quarterfinal.

 

and the Israeli guy European Champion Muki is also out, I was worried about him more.

Sotaro Fujiwara wins men's -81kg pool C and he's the first to make it through to the semifinals, menwhile Tina Trstenjak wins women's -63kg pool C and she's also through to the semifinals...

[phelps 8,289]

men's -81kg, pool D: Dominic Ressel is through to the semifinals after a great fight against the Russia Khalmurzaev (ended after more than 2 mins in the GS)...

he's going to face Fujiwara in the next match...
