Medina Vtyklo didn’t fare much better against the same opponent. In the second fight, the women from Hemsbach met, gave nothing away, Lorena had small advantages. In the third fight, Lorena gave her opponent from Heidelberg a Seoi-otoshi (shoulder fall), her opponent closed with an O-Soto-Gari (outside sickle). Lorena attacked courageously, so that the judges awarded her victory when there was a tie. A strong second place ahead of Medina.
Marleen Kirste started in weight group 11. Despite equal points in the first fight, the judges saw her opponent as having a slight advantage. With a shoulder throw (Seoi-nage) she pushed her second opponent onto the mat several times and won in the end deservedly on points, which meant a great second place. The organizational team around Corinna Riedel took care of the physical well-being of the visitors, so that the head of the judo department and referee Michael Matt was happy about a successful event.
