Miku Tashiro prolongs Masters title beating Franssen
Miku Tashiro prolonged her title at the Masters. Last year Tashiro won the gold in Rabat (MOR), this time she defeated Dutch Juul Franssen in the final in Guadalajara. Tashiro dominated the match, but couldn’t score, only a penalty difference until 45 seconds for the end when she struck with a wazari by ashi-waza against Franssen.
Tashiro won her bouts against Hilde Drexler (AUT), Junxia Yang (CHN) and Anicka van Emden followed in the semi final. Franssen had a bye in her first round and defeated Ekaterina Valkova (RUS) in the semi.
The bronze was for Anicka van Emden who defeated Tsend-Ayush by one penalty difference. Austrian Kathrin Unterwurzacher sort of gave away her bronze medal against Yang Junxia. Unterwurzacher led by wazari for a sasei and followed with an oseikomi, but Yang escaped and was in a hold down herself a few seconds later.
