Tough go for the Canadians.

Is this the Argentinian's coming out party or have they been good for a while?

[mike222]

I dont think the Argentinians are that good,they have had good draws.On a world level only a handful of the competitors are real world class.Teenager Clarissa Shields has now beaten two 2010 World champions this year Andrecia Wasson (69) and Roseli Feitosa (81) and now faces a third in Mary Spencer(75).Win or lose this girl is special but Spencer is the World number one.

This is probably one of the best USA womens teams that we have had in a long time,its pretty darn solid with maybe one or two that might need a little help.....I watched the whole tournament on live stream and we were actually suppose to have 7gold medals instead of 6 because i watched our 132lb Queen Underwood get completlely robbed the second night against a canadian but its ok we brought back 6 plus won the team trophy.Good Job Ladies!!!!!!USA USA USA!!!!!
