This was the first UWW Senior Ranking Tournament of the year and Olympic cycle. Results will factor into seedings at the World Championships and Olympics.
This was a good tournament for Lee. I hope we see him continue to compete overseas in international competition.
The 2025 Senior World Freestyle Championships in September are in the same arena in Zagreb, Croatia. Nice practice run for the World Championships for Lee.
Kennedy Blades(68kg) will compete at the Zagreb Open on Friday, February 7.
