(which is obviously a lie but everyone bought it) well, I saw that match... he lost against our very talented (but still immature) guy, Christian Parlati, who actually quite dominated the fight, even if as usual he took too many risks and almost threw the victory away once he got ahead by a waza-ari... luckily, his mistake only cost him also a single waza-ari and so he finally could make up for that by throwing Mollaei on his side once again for the second waza-ari (awasete ippon)... here's the match Parlati vs Mollaei...

phelps 6,795 Posted December 13, 2019 #113 Share Posted December 13, 2019 (edited) World Masters (Qingdao, CHN) Day #2 Recap today's main news are Saeid Mollaei's debut as a Mongolian representative (more about that in the previous post) and the shame of both men's Gold Medal matches that actually didn't took place at all, with the eventual winners just getting a nice Santa Claus gift... Japan obviously continued their domination, winning 2 out of 4 awarded Gold Medals thanks to Soichi Hashimoto (men's -73kg) and Nami Nabekura (women's -63kg), finally taking her major honour at the Masters after 2 consecutive losses in the big final in a row in 2017 and 2018...and doing it against the reigning world champion, Clarisse Agbegnenou... then, today's remaining Gold Medals went to Belgium (Matthias Casse, men's -81kg) and the Netherlands (Kim Polling, women's -70kg...defeating Sanne Van Dijke in an all-Dutch affair final)... no need to say that because of these results, Japan strenghten their lead in the medal table with 4 Golds, meanwhile now the Nations with "only" 1 Gold medal won are 5: Full Results, here: http://www.ippon.org/masters2019.php Day #2, Final Block replay Edited December 14, 2019 by phelps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Japan, after dominating the fiorst couple of days, today only had to be satisfied with a single Gold Medal, won by Hisayoshi Harasawa in the men's +100kg class (which, once again, was a "no show" by the losing finalist, Lukas Krpalek )... the last 2 Gold Medals, instead, went to France (Fanny Estelle Posvitè, women's -78kg) and Georgia (Lasha Bekauri, men's -90kg)... thanks to these results, Japan won the medal table with 5 Gold Medals, followed by the Netherlands with 3... after the 2 most successful Nations, other 6 Countries ended their campaign with 1 Gold medal each: Full Results, here: http://www.ippon.org/masters2019.php Day #3, Final Block replay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
