Two U.S. athletes reached bronze-medal matches and finished in fifth place: Bobby Yamashita (Northglenn, Colo./All Navy) at 77 kg and Lisa Ward (Olympia, Wash./United Training Center) at 53 kg.
In the Veterans Gi competition, for athletes 35 and older, the USA won four medals, with gold medals from Gabe Beauperthuy of Colorado Springs, Colo at unlimited in the Veterans 40-44 year old division and Jeff Anderson of Zeeland Mich. at the +100kg/Unlimited in the Veterans 50-54 year old division.
