After moving up from 57kg, Marti Malloy (San Jose, Calif. / USA Judo National Training Site at San Jose State University) won the first two matches in the 63kg division at her first World Championships.
Malloy had an uneventful first two minutes with Ok Song Hong (PRK) until she threw Hong for a yuko to take a lead that she would hold on to for the remainder of the match. Malloy threw Madeline Choconta (COL), who was down by a trio of penalties, with a taio toshi for waza-ari to advance to the third round.
In the third round, Malloy was down by a fourth minute penalty when top-ranked Urska Zolnir (SLO) scored a yuko. Zolnir was penalized as well, but won the match.
Zolnir advanced to the semifinals, bring Malloy into the loser’s pool where she is presently waiting to see who her next opponent will be.
 Travis Stevens (Glenville, N.Y. / USA Judo National Training Site at the Jason Morris Judo Center / 81kg) threw Eddie Cooper (SOL) 30 seconds into first match in the 81kg division.
In his next round, Stevens lost by a yuko to Giuseppe Maddaloni (ITA), 2000 Olympic Champion at 73kg.
Rick Hawn (Wakefield, Mass. / USA Judo National Team FORCE / 90kg) was thrown for a waza-ari in the first 30 seconds of his match against Ramzido Saidov (UZB). Saidov was given a penalty with 20 seconds left, but Hawn couldn’t produce a score big enough to overcome his early throw deficit.Photo courtesy of USA Judo
