“Virginia had a good day with her 3 fights. She did well in the first one, but she had trouble managing the pressure in the second one. In the final for third place, she came in strong and was able to take control of the fight. She was able to tire out her opponent, and she scored an ippon. She was very focused today (Saturday), and she finished strong,” said national coach <strong>Jean-Pierre Cantin</strong>.</p>
