Miami's Angelica Delgado wins bronze at USA Judo World Cup
The epicenter of the judo universe is the Doral Golf Resort and Spa this weekend, as 700 athletes from 50 countries compete in the 2011 USA Judo World Cup, a qualifying event for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. Competition got underway Friday and continues through Saturday evening.
On Sunday, the U.S. Open judo competition will be hosted at the same venue, with many of the same athletes as the World Cup, plus 200 U.S. elite judokas.
Angelica Delgado of Miami delighted the hometown crowd by earning a bronze medal Friday, and Marti Malloy of San Jose, Calif, defended her 57 kg. title in overtime over Miryam Roper of Germany and as the only American who won on the opening day in a field that includes athletes from as far away as China, Russia, and Israel.
Delgado, who lives minutes from the competition site, beat Colombia’s Yulieth Sanchez for the bronze. She beat her on a throw called osoto-gari, the same move she used to beat her last year at another World Cup event.
“It’s nice to have my parents, friends and family that see me train so hard day in and day out get a chance to see the results,” said Delgado. “I was so relieved when I won. There’s a lot of pressure when you’re fighting at home, but it’s definitely more rewarding to win in front of your family and friends.
“I was looking for [the osoto-gari] the whole match and was hoping that she didn’t expect it,” Delgado explained. “I’m trying to be more patient and confident in my attacks. I still have a lot to learn, but it’s a good start.”
The World Cup continues Saturday at the Doral in the Legends Ballroom with competition beginning at 10 a.m. Headlining the event for the U.S. is current women’s 78kg World Champion Kayla Harrison (Wakefield, Mass.) along with medal contenders Kyle Vashkulat (Glenville, N.Y.) and Anthony Turner (Miami).
