The US competitors didn’t find any success on the second day of the Judo grand slam event in Baku as they went 0-3. In the women’s -63kg division Leilani Akiyama lost to Franciska Szabo of Hungary on a waza-ari while Hannah Martin was defeated by Alice Schlesinger of Great Britain via an ippon. It’s worth noting that Schlesinger did go on to win the gold. In the men’s -73kg division Nicholas Delpopolo was defeated by Georgios Azoidis of Greece by a Yuko in the first round.

Sunday’s final day of competition will feature three more Americans. Nina Cutro-Kelly will take part in the women’s +78kg division. On the men’s side Colton Brown takes part in the -90kg division and Ajax Tadehara competes in the -100kg division.
