Can someone confirm this?
FINAL USA Results:
Lynda Loyce beat Sandra Bastian for GOLD
Jen Ngyuen lost to Finland, got SILVER
Ali Casey lost to Greece, got BRONZE
The women's team got 2nd Place overall
Evan Esguerra lost to Poland, got BRONZE
Mark Beecher lost to Australia, got BRONZE (controversy here - I'll let him explain)
Chris Romulo was awarded a BRONZE since the Belgian who beat him was an A class fighter who re-registered in B class after losing. Very shady and outright wrong.
6 medals for 12 fighters!
Rigel is in Chiangmai until Jan 25th and then may stay longer.
I fought Tomas Dupuy. Pro fighter. He's the 2002 French, 2003 European and 2-time IFMA World champion. Close fight 9-10; 9-10; 10-8; 10-9
I have it on my DVC and will try to dub a copy for him.
Thanks, WuFang
ttt for the Hyena!
Did Scott Clark from Canada fight. Did he do well.
i got alot of Hella stories....but if i tell you then i would have to kill you....but ill tell you what this was the best trip ive ever been on, i met alot of great poeple from all over the world (and beat some up too) but mostly i had a great time with my new family.......the american team....we were a great team this year and this was the best times of my life.......aND as for the controversy, i kind of knocked the guy out,but alas he was saved by the bell (he laid there for 20 seconds) but when he got up he got me in the third.......he hits like a truck....
how you doing mark ? this is israel here.
indeed the american team was very impressive and everyone from there was cool and polite. i was very impressed with them.
about our fight, some people thought i won, some people thought i didnt, doesnt really matter now.
we gave the people a great fight and thats what really matters.
say, do have the fight on tape ? i would love to get my hand on it. if its not too much to ask, you think it would be possible to send a copy over to a friend of mine in the US ? he will take care of sending it overseas for me.
later all
