The third sparring day\u2019s action featured the Lightweight and Heavyweight divisions with USA athletes\u00a0Alex Ahlstrom (M-LW) Jennifer Daye (F-LW), Stephen Lambdin (M-HW) and Danielle\u00a0Harrison (F-HW).<\/p>\n
Alex Ahlstrom opened the day with a close match against Spain\u2019s Raul Martinez\u00a0Garcia. The match went point for point with Ahlstrom leading until a third round spin-roundhouse bonus point score by Spain. Final score was 5-4 Spain.<\/p>\n
Jennifer Daye took on Switzerland\u2019s Nina Klay. The match remained scoreless through\u00a0the first round, despite strong punches by Daye. Klay scored a single body-shot for a 1-0\u00a0victory over the USA.<\/p>\n
Danielle Harrison in Women\u2019s Heavyweight fought China\u2019s Yongtong Zhang in a dead-even matchup. Harrison remained the aggressor through regular time which ended in a 2-2 score to force overtime. In the overtime round neither fighter scored a clean point and\u00a0the judges resorted to ROS (Rules of Superiority). Local favorite Zhang took the judges’ decision.<\/p>\n
USA\u2019s veteran heavyweight Stephen Lambdin also fought China in the first round.\u00a0China\u2019s Yi Zhang seemed no match for Lambdin\u2019s repeated clean scores. After an\u00a0unsuccessful video review by China, the judges questioned the functionality of the Lajust\u00a0PSS system and brought in a Lajust technician after an obvious clean body shot failed to\u00a0register. After testing the system, scoreless kicks continued to a 0-0 regular time finish.\u00a0Lambdin landed a resounding early fast-kick which failed to register a touch, followed\u00a0by an inexplicable counter-point by China\u2019s Zhang who won 1-0. Zhang was eliminated\u00a0in the next round in another scorelsss match against Turkey who won by judges Rules Of
\nSuperiority. Turkey continued through to the gold medal match.<\/p>\n
