World Cup, Stangherlin a thousand points are not enough

On the fifth day of the world championships in Budapest, in fact, the Japanese in 78 kg, already 2015 world gold, 2017 silver and n. 5 of the Olympic ranking, was an insurmountable obstacle for the 25-year-old from Vittorio Veneto who, unfortunately, found herself facing her immediately in the first round of the competition, in the round of 32.

Umeki then went all the way in the race to put the bronze medal that was still missing from her personal collection around her neck, while Giorgia Stangherlin made her considerations, “surely catching the Japanese first in the world championship is not the best – she said the blue – even if I am not influenced by the name, I go in and fight. I returned to the last race for qualification and I knew it was going to be difficult months.
I am sorry that I was unable to reach the goal. – Giorgia concluded- Now I rest and fix the physical pains that I have and that in recent months have not given me peace “.
“I’m sorry because there are athletes like Giorgia, who have a thousand points and therefore have made a path investing a lot and do not qualify – was the reflection of Francesco Bruyere – while there are also those who have not competed for two years, have six points and qualifies.
We understand the reason and welcome fairness and maximum involvement for all countries, but those are aspects that could be managed with wild cards and let merit qualify with the odds, for example the first thirty of the ranking. and then the wild cards.
This is a reasoning that generally circulates behind the scenes, that is, among the coaches in the warm-up area and, from what I can hear, it is quite shared “.
Tomorrow, Saturday, the last day of individual competitions and even without athletes in the race, the attention of the entire blue staff will be at the maximum, because after the insertion of the last individual results, the last riddles on the qualification of the athletes will be solved. The waiting hours are numbered …

Rome, 11 June 2021 – The chances of winning an Olympic pass on the field for our champion Sara Cardin are fading. Class ’87, already world gold in 2014 and four times European champion in -55 kg, the dream of entering the Italian Olympic team through the Direct Qualification Tournament crashes today on the mats of the Parisian Pierre De Coubertin stadium. Sara made her debut by beating Uzbek Bakhriniso Babaeva 2-1 but surrendered in the quarter-finals against Poland’s Dorota Banaszczyk, who was then defeated in the semifinals, also losing hope for a repechage.
The Olympic Qualification Tournament is very difficult, you have to get to the medal and then do a further round (round robin) among the four medalists and only the first three classified earn the Olympic pass.
“Such a pity. Sara went very well at the European Championship twenty days ago, fueling the hopes of all of us, but this is an inside or outside match and the tension played tricks on them, certainly the importance of the match influenced the matches played. We are all very sorry for her who deserved this qualification ”, commented coach Claudio Guazzaroni.
Tomorrow it will be the turn of Laura Pasqua in -61 kg, while on Sunday of Silvia Semeraro (+61 kg) and Michele Martina (+84 kg). Today’s finals, women’s kata, men’s kumite -67 kg and women’s kumite -55 kg, will be broadcast, on a delayed basis, today at 22:00 on Sky Sport Collection with the commentary by Chiara Soldi.
