At the second day of the Grand Slam in Baku the women’s category U63kg was again for Lucy Renshall of Great Britain. She topped the field again like she did in Antalya this year. In the final, Gankhaich Bold faced Lucy Renshall, who had come from raiding the silver in Paris; duel in the shade for the gold of Baku. Bold is 26 years old and has no medal on the World Judo Tour. Lucy is 25 and has 8 medals. It seemed an uneven opposition.
Both were extreme, playing at the hips, so it seemed one of them would go big! The Mongolian was taking several seconds to re-focus at the end of each exchange. In golden score Renshall claimed the badge as a new sheriff this way: the Mongolian attacked with uchi-mata but left too much distance, space for Renshall to apply her customary transition and she did so perfectly, winning the contest by osae-komi.
“I feel very strong in ne-waza. The fight was pretty long and it was a great moment to catch. She was tired and I could hold her down for that osae-komi. I feel great.” We understand why, she is the new sheriff.
For Anriquelis Barrios, first seed, the badge lasted three minutes and Gankhaich Bold appeared. She came from Mongolia. Then the legend of Bold was born, the fastest in the place.
