Whereas this was an outstanding 2-day occasion, the brackets have been filled with late replacements, which was certainly disappointing to many followers trying ahead to sure athletes compete. Nevertheless, this can be extra of a difficulty with the high-level skilled grappling circuit in the intervening time: how can we maintain athletes injury-free in order that they’ll compete extra usually and in order that the brackets for giant competitions don’t fluctuate as a lot?
Furthermore, this was one of many first occasions we’ve seen repechage rounds utilized in an expert grappling match (made common in wrestling tournaments, repechage rounds have the athletes who lose within the first spherical to the eventual finalists enter a brand new bracket for an opportunity to win third-place). One drawback with the repechage rounds for this occasion was that some athletes have been both unwilling or unable (resulting from harm) to compete after dropping their first match, leaving the grapplers who have been nonetheless standing with a barely simpler path again to the bronze medal match. Both means, this was an revolutionary addition to an expert jiu-jitsu match, and one thing we’d wish to see extra of sooner or later.
General, we’re excited for what WNO has arising, together with an occasion on the finish of October, the place the ladies’s 125lb and 135lb championship belts are on the road.
