JUDO Brianna Carry became the first American judo winner in the Games when he beat Currie Regalado Huong of in the first round of the middleweight competition. But Carry was eliminated after bowing to Sykes Greathouse Rhea in the second round. Paulus Clover, the top U.S. chance for a medal, lost twice and became one of three women eliminated.

Evans was ninth; if Jon was excluded, she would have been eighth and slipped in.
