Junior U.S. Open Day 2 Results

(Fort Lauderdale, Fla.) – In what has now morphed into the rivalry to watch in U.S. junior competition, 17-year-olds Bobby Lee (Lauderhill, Fla. / North Miami USA Judo National Training Site) and Nick Delpopolo (Glenville, N.Y. / Jason Morris Judo Center) were at it again Sunday in the finals of the 73kg under-20 IJF-Junior division at the Junior U.S. Open in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.

On Saturday the duo fought twice at the Junior World Trials with Delpopolo taking both matches and the Junior World Trials slot.

And while those matches were riddled with penalties and just the right hint of controversy, Sunday’s final had all of the tension and none of the penalties.

In fact, five minutes of throws, attacks and screaming from the crowd later, neither athlete had scored.

The crowd, who by had long ago staked out their matside seats, roared as the match was sent to Golden Score (overtime).

Two minutes into the Golden Score session, it looked like Delpopolo might overtake Lee who looked to be fading fast as the clock kept ticking; however, within 30 seconds, Lee saw an open opportunity and threw Delpopolo with an o uchi gari (major inner reaping leg throw) for ippon (instant win).

The win also would give Lee the Most Outstanding Male Competitor Award.

Athens Olympian Ronda Rousey (Buffalo Grove, Ill. / NYAC / Cohen’s Judo Club / 63kg) won the Most Outstanding Female Competitor Award, trouncing her opponents in rapid fashion, including a 13-second throw of Natalie Laursen (Livermore, Calif. / Amador Judo) who she also beat Saturday to qualify for her second Junior World Team.

Rousey and Lee both received $250 from the Junior U.S. Open which had previously promised the award to any U.S. athlete who won the awards.

Lee, Rousey and 10 other athletes also received $200 from the USA Judo Development Committee and $100 from the Junior U.S. Open, both of whom had pledged incentives to any U.S. athlete who won an IJF-Junior Olympic weight division.

Junior World Team member Jeanette Rodriguez (Margate, Fla. / North Miami USA Judo National Training Site / 48kg) picked up another Junior U.S. Open title in a five-minute match against #2 Brenna Clark (Hercules, Calif. / Okubu Judo / East Bay Judo Institute).

Clark, who lost to Rodriguez in the Junior World Trials final, was in better form Sunday, coming back from a two koka (smallest points) deficit to take the lead with a throw for yuko (quarter-point).

Rodriguez was made to work for it, but soon picked up another yuko that would guarantee her the match.

Junior World Team member Franchesca Durand (Coral Springs, Fla. / North Miami USA Judo National Training Site / 52kg) squeaked out a final round win by a shido (penalty) scored less than 90 seconds into the match over Ecuadorian Cristina Sanchez-Ortega.

At 57kg, Junior World Team member Hannah Martin (Albany, N.Y. / Jason Morris Judo Center) lost in the first 40 seconds of her final match to Estefania Garcia Mendoza, getting thrown for ippon.

Kayla Harrison (Middletown, Ohio / Renshuden / 70kg) repeated her two Junior World Trials victories over Katie Sell (Oshkosh, Wis. / Welcome Mat Judo), throwing her 24 seconds into the match with an o goshi (hip throw) for ippon.

Junior World Team member Marina Shafir (Latham, N.Y. / Jason Morris Judo Center / 78kg) was defeated for the first time by a U.S. junior for the first time in recent history, losing in a round robin match to 14-year-old Marina Lambert (Chesapeake, Va. / Washington Judo Club) who would win gold.

Canadian Alyssa Caughy (CAN / Winnipeg, Canada / UniverJudo Manitoba) won the women’s heavyweight division, posting a round robin win over Junior World Team member Brittni Bradford (Land O’Lakes, Fla. / St. Pete Judo) who finished second.

On the men’s side, Jeremy Liggett (Scotia, N.Y. / NYAC / Jason Morris Judo Center / 60kg) did not compete against either of the athletes he beat on Saturday at the Junior World Trials, but he did pick up a win over Ronnie Talledo (PER / North Lauderdale, Fla. / Ki-Itsu-Sai) who sent Liggett into the loser’s bracket at the U.S. Judo Federation Junior National Champipnships last week in Fort Lauderdale.

In the final, Liggett was down by an early shido against Jose Romero Cano (ECU), but threw Romero for a koka to tie the match which looked to be headed into Golden Score territory when Liggett, never one to slow down during the final minute of any match, threw Romero for a yuko with three seconds on the clock to win his second consecutive Junior U.S. Open title.

International players George Ramos (Miami, Fla. / Miami Judo) and Ivan Lopouchanski (Hollywood, Fla. / Budokan) placed first and second in the 66kg division, respectively. Earlier in the day, Lopouchanski defeated Junior World Team member AJ Silverman (Scotia, N.Y. / Jason Morris Judo Center) in the semi-finals. Silverman would then win the bronze medal in the division.

Yuko Sin (white) throws his opponent in an early round match before winning gold at 81kg at the Junior U.S. Open.

After warming up matside for at least 10 minutes watching the Lee-Delpopolo match, Junior World Team member Yuko Sin (Scotia, N.Y. / Jason Morris Judo Center / 81kg) defeated #3-ranked Phillip Spano (Tampa, Fla. / El Mambi) in less time than it took Lee and Delpopolo to fix their belts at the end of their match.

Jacob Larsen (Santa Rosa, Calif. / Redwood Coast Judo), a Junior World Team member at 90kg, got thrown for waza-ari by Canadian Michael Leger early in their final match. Larsen attempted a pin, but became unsuccessful within the first five seconds. Undaunted, though, Larsen came back with an almost immediate attack, throwing Leger for ippon.

Paul Gomez (Garland, Texas / Becerra Judo), who won the light heavyweight division less than a month ago at the USA Judo Junior Olympics, earned another junior win, pinning Giorgio Gazzani (Panorama City, Calif. / Valley Judo) for a yuko and then throwing him for ippon. Zane Malloy (Oak Harbor, Wash. / N.A.S. Whidbey Island), the Junior World Team member in this division, lost to Gazzani in the semi-finals and finished third.

Aaron Shiosaki (Lomita, Calif. / Gardena), the heavyweight Junior World Team representative, won gold against Jorge Sierra (PUR), first scoring a waza-ari (half-point) and then pinning Sierra for the win.
