KLIPPAN, Sweden – Led by individual champions Lauren Louive (Massillon, Ohio/New York AC) at 57 kg and Jennifer Page (Colorado Springs, Colo./Titan Mercury) at 62 kg, the United States won eight medals and placed second in the team standings at the respected Klippan Lady Open.
Louive, a 2019 Final X runner-up, won her two round robin matches on Saturday, including a pin of American Cameron Guerin in 3:44. Louive must beat Sofia Phakdeeyut of Sweden in her final round robin match on Sunday, an athlete who Guerin beat by technical fall on Saturday.
Page, a 2014 and 2017 U.S. Open champion and 2013 Junior World bronze medalist, won three matches, including two by technical fall. Because of the cross-bracketed semifinal system in the tournament, Page has a rematch in the gold-medal match against 2019 European U23 bronze-medalist Emma Johansson of Sweden, the other semifinal winner. Page beat Johannson 4-0 in her first pool match on Saturday.
It was Page’s first international gold medal since winning the Dave Schultz Memorial in January 2017. Page has recovered from injuries in time to make a run at an Olympic team berth.
Silver medals were captured by Cameron Guerin (Yakima, Wash./Titan Mercury) at 57 kg, Abigail Nette (St. Rose, La./Tiger WC) at 59 kg and Dymond Guilford (Lancaster, Calif/Titan Mercury) at 72 kg.
Guerin went 2-1 in a three-athlete roundrobin, losing only to Louive. She finished off the silver medal on Sunday with a pin over Caroline Kvist of Sweden.
Nette, a Senior Nationals champion in December, reached the finals with three wins on Saturday. She was beaten in the finals by 2018 U23 World champion Grace Bullen of Norway, 10-0.
Guilford, a Senior Nationals runner-up in December and 2019 WCWA national champion, had a rematch in the finals with 2019 Junior World champion and two-time Cadet World champion Yuka Kagami of Japan. Kagami edged Guilford 2-1 to claim the gold. In their pool competition, Kagami beat Guiford, 3-0. Guilford won an impressive three matches in the tournament.
Bronze medals went to Erin Golston (Colorado Springs, Colo./New York AC) at 50 kg, Alex Hedrick (Fair Oaks, Calif./Titan Mercury) at 55 kg and Iman Kazem (Pleasanton, Calif./Menlo WC) at 72 kg.
Golston scored a 10-0 technical fall in her bronze-medal bout over Angelica Zettervall of Sweden. Hedrick pinned Othelie Hoie of Norway in 2:29 in her bronze-medal match, her second pin over Hoie in the tournament. Kazem finished 1-2 in a four-athlete round robin.
The USA finished with 24 points, just two points behind team champion Japan with 26 points. Host Sweden was third. Japan had five champions, Norway with one and Lithuania with one.
