KLIPPAN, Sweden – The respected Klippan Lady Open completed on Sunday with the Senior division, and the top U.S. performance came from veteran Lauren Louive (Iowa City, Iowa/New York AC/Hawkeye WC), who won a bronze medal at 59 kg/130 lbs.
Louive pinned Italy’s 2018 Junior European bronze medalist Morena De Vita in 2:00 in her bronze-medal bout. Louive was defeated on Saturday by Svetlana Lipatova of Russia, who was fifth in the 2018 World Championships. When Lipatova reached the gold-medal finals, Louive was pulled back into a bronze-medal bout.
Louive won a bronze medal at the Klippan Lady Open for the second straight year. She was a 2018 U.S. Open runner-up.
Three other U.S. women reached bronze-medal matches and were defeated, placing fifth: Vayle-Rae Baker (Benton, Pa./Wyoming Seminary) at 55 kg/121 lbs., Julia Salata (Bristol, Tenn. (New York AC) at 65 kg/143 lbs. and Marlynne Deede (Springville, Utah) at 72 kg/158.5 lbs.
Baker, a high school senior at Wyoming Seminary, fell 12-0 to Marina Simonyan of Russia in her bronze-medal bout. Sinonyan was third in the Russian Senior Nationals the last two years.
Salata, who was a Final X finalist last year, opened her Sunday with a victory in repechage, scoring a technical fall over American Kiana Pugh. In her bronze-medal bout, Salata dropped a 4-0 decision to Kriszta Incze of Romania, who was fifth in the 2018 U23 Worlds.
Deede was defeated in the bronze-medal round by 2013 Junior World silver medalist Tatiana Kolesnikova of Russia in a 10-0 technical fall.
The United States finished in a tie for 11th with Romania and the BK Tana club from Norway with 2 points, in a field which included 20 nations and six Swedish club programs.
Earlier in the weekend, young U.S. star Kennedy Blades won a gold medal in the U17 division at 69 kg.
