Jakeway and Porter Win Gold to Wrap Up Thor Masters; Schierl Earns Bronze

NYKØBING FALSTER, Denmark – William Jakeway and 2021 World Team member Jesse Porter both won gold to conclude the 2026 Thor Masters. Jakeway finished 2-0, and Porter went 3-0 over the two-day event at Guldboxen in Nykøbing Falster. Fritz Schierl finished the event with a bronze medal.

In the best-of-three series at 55 kg, Jakeway started with a 7-4 decision against Sweden’s Pontus Ståhl on Friday. Needing just one win on Saturday, Jakeway rolled to the 8-0 technical fall against Ståhl in the first match to win the gold medal.

Jakeway has now medaled in both international appearances, following last November’s bronze at the Bill Farrell Memorial International.

At 82 kg, the round robin featured an All-American bout between Porter and Schierl to start the day. In a tight affair, Porter outlasted Schierl, 3-2. The win pushed Porter into a winner-take-all match for gold.

In the championship against Denmark’s Oliver Krüger, Porter posted a four-point maneuver to break a 1-1 deadlock and take a four-point lead into the break. Porter held off Krüger over the final three minutes of the contest and collected a 5-1 victory to win gold.

Schierl earned the bronze medal after finishing 1-2 following an injury default against reigning World bronze medalist Karlo Kodric of Croatia.
