INOUE WINS BRONZE, JAPAN TAKES WOMEN’S TEAM TITLE AT WORLD C’SHIPS

ISTANBUL (September 16) – Yoshiko Inoue notched three wins against a semifinal loss to take a bronze medal at 67kg on the final day of women's events at the senior wrestling world championships.

 

Inoue won her first medal in her third trip to the senior world meet, but missed a shot at the championship final when she lost in the semifinals to Oyunsuren Banzyragch (MGL) – an opponent she had defeated in the finals of the Asian championships in May.

 

Oyunsuren later lost to Chinese national team newcomer Xi Luozhuoma (CHN) in the championship final.

 

Meanwhile at 72kg, former five-time world champion Kyoko Hamaguchi kicked off with a win but could not find an opening against lOhenewa Akuffo (CAN) and fell in the second round. Akuffo lost in the quarterfinals, knocking Hamaguchi, who had to settle for 13th place overall, out medal contention.

 

Still, with the conclusion of the women's events, Japan won the team competition with 52 points from three individual champions and two bronze medals. Canada was second with 33 points, followed by Mongolia with 32 points.

 

On the final day of women's wrestling, the men's freestyle competition also got under way with action in the 55kg category. Shinichi Yumoto advanced to the quarterfinals before being bumped out of the tourney and had to settle for eighth place overall.

Inoue wins the draw for the clinch in the first period, but loses her grip and allows Oyunsuren to get behind for the win. She surrenders a pair of takedowns in the second as her opponent avenges a loss to Inoue at the Asian championships in May.

Hamaguchi is eliminated from medal contention and a chance at an Olympic berth when Akuffo falls in the quarterfinals to Ali Bernard (USA).

R1 – df. Youri Ledenov (UKR), 2-0 (1x-1=last, 6-0=0:58)

Yumoto recovers from a slow start and scores the last point of the first period to take the lead. In the second period, Yumoto comes out firing with a force-out and single-leg which he converts for a cross-ankle turn and extra points against the 2009 World Cup individual winner.

 

R2 – df. Ahmet Peker (TUR), 2-1 (0-3, 6-1, 3-1)

Yumoto is dropped for three points in the first period, but rallies against the two-time former junior world champ with a single-leg and big lift in the second. A pair of low singles in the third pave the wave for the win.

 

R3 – df. Naranbaatar Bayaraa (MGL), 2-0 (6-0=1:59, 5-3)

Yumoto goes behind off a low single attempt and tilts twice for the technical in the first period, then racks up the second with a pair of gut wrenches against the 2007 world silver medalist.

 

R4 – lost to Nick Simmons (USA), 0-2 (4-7, 5-6)

Yumoto takes the early lead with a low single and ankle turn (2-0), but Simmons comes back with a front headlock (4-2) and his trademark “strangle” hold for exposure (4-4), a five count (4-5) and exposure again (4-7).

The former Pan American champ opens the second with a big drop for three. Yumoto tries to comeback with a pair of low singles, but it's too little, too late.

Yumoto was eliminated from medal contention and a berth at the London Olympics when Simmons loses in the semifinals to Radoslav Velikov (BUL).
