Aquino sisters not having a bad day after all. Youth Olympian Lahnee leading against the Egyptian made me happy for some time. 

 

Maybe her younger sister can learn from her in the semis which would be harder but interestingly it's the weakest Tunisian athlethe in the squad yet it'll be the only opportunity Guam gets this tournament that close. 

It wasnt as simple as always just because the opponent  was from Tunisia. And I was right with this prediction.

Nice to see  winning quota and didn't need a invitational place to compete in Olympics

well, to me that was a 2-2 , of course they give such dubious calls to the host nation. even though one can say it should 2-2 +1 for TUN at the end for the "takedown" it could be either 4-3 for CIV or 4-4 for TUN. but as far as I know about the rules 3-2 for TUN was wrong.

 

CIV is not done yet. she still can qualify by beating Egypt. uphill task though

 

 

it seems everybody is watching this but just to have a summary

 

50:

53:

57:

62: and the winner of last round match between

68: 99.99% and 90% . will finish 3rd and qualifies later. can be 3rd only if she wins by fall and score at least 8pts !

76: 100%, is 2nd, but still can qualify if she just beat Egypt by any score.

With just 16 quotas there was not a single invitational quota for anyone so that was the only opportunity

Hoping for to grab their first quota tomorrow, though looking at the brackets they will definitely have to earn it. In the -57kg Iuna may have to go through 3/4 2019 African Games medalists while in the -65kg Cumba likely faces the 2020 African Championship silver medalist as his first opponent (on the other hand, that top half bracket is quite weak). Their 2016 Olympians will also have a tough path.
