Team Day 9 Results
Saturday 16th
Duathlon:
Individual W
-. Nikola Čorbová DSQ
Odd, Strange and hard warm Day experienced yesterday our sole Duathlon participant at the Games, Nikola Čorbová, but also more than a half of starters with her as well...
A bit of scandalous taste had the end of the W Individual competition in the streets of Birmingham...
Nikola was in the lead group during the Cycling 40 kms part (as it was revealed later, undesirably she and her lead group partners - did 45km ),
sadly during this part, because of poor organization and very bad track markings, the group went to the wrong way and did literally one more lap in cycling than they should have...
Nikola arrived to the finish line in 15th position, which was her best careers result, just to be later informed that she, like all the group, is disqualified...
Muay Thai:
-51kg W
Semifinals
Monika Chochlíková 30 - 27 Rebecca Hodl
Qualified to the Gold Medal Bout
and to the enormous joy of Slovak sport fans Monika managed to handle the pressure after the flop in the Kickboxing, and secured herself yet another medal from the World Games, She will not return home empty handed from Birmingham either.
Even, if she wanted to win in both events,
but in opposite to her strongest Kickboxing, paradoxically it was in the Muay Thai where
she was clearly more successful this time in Alabama.
In yesterday semifinal she totally dominated the fight over her Austrian opponent, winning by unanimous decision,
The Ring judge even had to count the Austrian in Round 2. but she was allowed to continue and complete the match anyway.
Monika will fight for Gold in this last Day of the games against the reigning world champion Meriem El-Moubarik of
