Let’s have a good look and see who they beat on route. Craig partners of New Zealand will be officiating this incredible final. Great is Ali [Music] representing Japan winner. Subako. She’ll be she’ll know exactly what she’s got to overcome here. Abby, time world champion, Olympic champion. She’s on a mission after the last Olympic Games, which was well, you could say it was a mistake. It was a mistake, but it was a a real opportunity opportunity for the new champion. But she’s become world champion since well, she comes now. She’s she wants to prove to everybody that she is the world’s best. [Applause] And the two in white. Big chance for [Applause] some sharp gripping. Look at that past. [Applause] Just broke that up. She just with that movement backwards there. broke the grip off seeing Aggie attacks by she’ll look for the right moment but of course every meanwhile skill lifts again trying to sit it back the way to be isn’t it I mean actually you You’re going to take one day to everywhere and be on the ground. Look at that. She’s determined. Yeah. Lady on a mission. Yes. Yeah. A didn’t have such a I mean, she had a good day, but you know, not the usual a that we’ve seen before. No, of course they, you know, we got to bear in in mind that a lot of people really know. As soon as she goes around there with that, Sabon’s going to attack. She knows her really, really well. She knows what she’s going to do. Get a sheet for her. No, it’s taken away. [Music] Oh, dangerous. Yeah, you could see it, couldn’t you? She was setting it up, ready to go. When she had that slee, she might go over the back post. She might go here as you say off the grip attacks. I guess they’ve got to do it. You know, it’s virtually impossible for them to get two hands on, isn’t it? Virtually impossible. All the time. Every time she comes back there, a she creates that little bit of space for the Caggi. You’ve got to say that Saboni here doing a great job of containing her. That’s what she wants. She wants that just little bit of space there to move into. [Music] That’s a good word, containing. [Applause] So you go for it. Came out of nowhere. She really shot at that knee. This time she had the lapel hand but uh then was trying to get the sleeve hand on [Music] [Music] six years of age.

Yeah, she did third place last year. Not a ton of international experience. No, not a ton. Uh whatever she has been outed, she’s either got gold medal or Oh, this is interesting. Well, it is because is Abby going to give away? She gave away a Shido in her last previous match in a semiinal, but she felt the danger. 30 seconds left.

She’s going to eat her mother as well. She won the world title that many times. Every tournament that she’s been in, it’s gold closely. [Music] I mean, she’s just just [Applause] win. Yeah. Yeah, it was close. It was really good. Gave her a good number. [Music] gold medal.
