Kayla Miracle has advanced to the 62kg gold medal match at the World Championships after a fall over Canada’s Ana Godinez.
She will face last years bronze medalist Nonoka Ozaki of Japan in the finals. This is more of a toss up even though Miracle took silver in that same bracket.
They both fell to eventual champion Aisuluu Tynybekova of Kyrgyzstan, Miracle lost 7-0 in the world finals and Ozaki lost 6-4 in the round of 16 and had to win repechage and the bronze medal match afterwards where she did not let up a point.
Ozaki defeated reigning World Champion Tynybekova in the semifinals 11-5 so she is looking very good coming into this gold medal match, the same could be said here for Miracle who advanced to the finals with a pin.
