Day 1 draw for Grand Slam Champions Series Final has been released. 

 

Neither of the  in action - Aaliyah Powell or Lauren Williams - have a great draw in the -67Kg event as they have been drawn against the number 1 and number 2 seeds in the quarterfinals (assuming they make it through their opening fight).

 

Aaliyah Powell is drawn against  Ozoda Sobirjonova in the round of 16. They fought in the quarterfinals of the OQT earlier in the week and Powell came through in a tight match so every chance that she could repeat that tomorrow. If successful, Powell would then be against top seed  Jie Song. Song is currently ranked 11th in the Olympic qualifier list and Powell is in pretty good form so she'll have every reason to think she could win that fight. If she gets through to the semi-finals, Powell would face either 4th seed  Hyo rim Hong or 5th seed  Ruth Gbagbi who face each other in the quarterfinals (this will be a repeat of the OQT Quarterfinal which was won by Hong). Hong 

 

Lauren Williams will fight  Lilliia Khuzina in the round of 16. They fought in the semifinals of the OQT and Khuzina overwhelmed Williams. The hope is that having had a couple of days off, Williams might be a bit fresher when they fight in the morning. If she can prevail, then she would face 2nd seed  Cecilia Castro Burgos.  The Spaniard lost in the first round of the OQT so not sure what her form is like.

Go  Milena Titoneli

 Powell safely navigates her way through her first fight winning 2-0 (2-0, 6-4)

[Rafa Maciel 1,671]

 Williams comes up well short losing out 2-1(1-0, 3-10, 9-0). She was "winning" the final round until the last 10 seconds when she basically walked into 3 headshots. Bye-bye Olympic dreams for her 

[Rafa Maciel 1,671]

It is a quarterfinal exit for  Powell as she loses out to top seed  Jie Song 2-0 (0-8, 1-8). Some very weird scoring going on in the fight though with the score having to be corrected twice after Song was awarded points for phantom kicks.

Is there a link anywhere for live results?

nope

but it's not hard to find out the finalists

 

so far AIN (RUS) won the +80kg quota. with two Chinese fighters in 67kg final that quota will be transferred to Ruth Gbagbi (6th place in WR)

 

49kg quota will be between TUR and KOR and (TUR already has the quota)
68kg final is between CHN and CRO and the winner goes to Paris

Golubić again close , but not enough 🥲

[MHSN 3,783]

OK it's done

 

here are the quotas

 

68kg:  Liang

+80kg:  AIN Larin

49kg:  Akgul (Turkey already has the quota) therefore  Quo

67kg:  Song (China already has the quota) therefore  Gbagbi

 

I highly doubt I'm wrong but nothing is 100% final until WT officially confirms it.
