Japanese Women Close Out Junior Worlds with Eight Golds
TALLINN, Estonia (August 16) — Japan jabbed the competition on Thursday night by winning three junior world titles, then threw the knock out punch on Friday night — closing out the women’s wrestling portion of the Junior World Championships with five additional gold medals. In total, Japan went eight-for-eight in gold-medal bouts and stockpiled medals in all ten weights. Haruna OKUNO (JPN) kicked off the day for the Japanese women by winning her fifth overall world gold medal. Okuno said she keeps all of her world title belts at her parent’s house. Well, their house gained an additional world championship belt after their daughter claimed her fifth world gold in as many tries. The reigning two-time senior-level world champion added her first junior world title to her long list of accomplishments after expelling Anudari NANDINTSETSEG (MGL), 7-2 in the 53kg gold-medal bout.
By watching Okuno’s four matches, where she outscored her opponents 35-2, you would’ve never guessed that she was dealing with extreme neck pain on her right side throughout the entire competition. After her finals match, she talked about having to work through her counter-offensive attacks because of her pain, saying “Now I feel neck pain, so I didn’t try to attack. In this tournament, the counterattack was very nice for me.” Rest of the story at https://unitedworldwrestling.org/article/japanese-women-close-out-junior-worlds-eight-golds?mc_cid=4abd571a93&mc_eid=2ef7cbca4b
