26th March 2006 RYAN RESER WINS SILVER AGAIN (Colorado Springs, Colo.) – Ryan Reser (Colorado Springs, Colo./Olympic Training Center USA Judo National Training Site/73kg) won his second World Cup medal in as many weeks Saturday with a silver medal finish at the Sweden Open in Boras. Reser, who earned his first top-10 World Ranking and A-Level status when he won silver at last week’s Dutch Open, went 4-1 for another trip to the podium in Sweden. Competing as the only American in the tournament, Reser opened his day with a first round win over Vitaliy Ryzhyy (UKR) on a penalty and a second victory by waza-ari (half-point) against David Papaux (SUI). Reser’s quarter-final was a rematch from last week against 2001 World medalist Krzystof Wilkomirski (POL) whom he had previously defeated on a penalty. This time, Reser defeated Wilkomirski by ippon (instant win) to advance to a semi-final against Claudiu Bastea (ROM), an eight-time World Cup medalist. Reser also won this match by ippon to advance to the final against Costel Danculea (ROM) who beat the American by ippon. Today’s event was Reser’s last stop on the European Tour and his final major competition before the U.S. Nationals and Pan American Trials, April 21-22 in Houston, Texas. Reser’s back-to-back medals mark the first time an American has medaled at an A-Level World Cup event since World Champion Jimmy Pedro (Methuen, Mass.) won silver medals in the same division at the German World Open and the Budapest World Cup in 2004.

20th March 2006 -(Colorado
Springs, Colo.) – Ryan Reser (Colorado Springs, Colo./U.S. Olympic Training
Center/73kg) won a silver medal Saturday at the Dutch Open in Rotterdam,
Netherlands, the sixth World Cup event of this year’s European Tour. After
spending most of the past week sick, Reser arrived in Rotterdam Wednesday nearly
a kilo underweight. “I was a little worried today. I’d felt weak during all my
practices and so I wasn’t sure how things were going to go,” Reser said. “I
wasn’t expecting to do well, but I guess that’s when you always do your best
when you don’t have expectations.” Ryan opened his day with early wins against Peng Sun (CHN) by two
kokas (smallest points) and Craig Ewers (GBR) by yuko (quarter point). In the
quarter-finals Reser met Henri Schoeman (NED) who finished fifth at the 2005
World Championships and won bronze in February at the Super World Cup in
Hamburg. Reser won the match on a koka to advance to the semi-finals where he
defeated 2001 World bronze medalist Krzystof Wilkomirski (POL) on a penalty.
After a break, Reser returned for the gold medal match against Bryan van Dijk
(NED), a six-time World Cup medalist. Van Dijk scored waza-ari (half point)
early and Reser was held scoreless for the remainder of the match. “I was
sweeping about 30 seconds into the match and he just threw me for waza-ari.
After that he pretty much ran for the rest and I couldn’t catch him,” Reser
said. Reser’s next stop on the Tour will be next week’s Sweden Open in Borras
where he will be joined by his OTC teammate Kirk Hoffmann (Colorado Springs,
Colo./+100kg). “My goal next week is just to go in with the same intensity I
had this week and hopefully I’ll do well,” Reser said. Reser was the only United
States participant at the Rotterdam World Cup. PHOTOS OF THE EVENT AND RYAN
RESER IN COMBAT WILL BE ADDED SOON.

February 2006. Dutch do well at Hamburg Otto Super World Cup.
The Dutch team went home with a GOUDEN SURPRISE
and two bronzes after this weekend's Hamburg Otto World Cup. Bryan Van Dijk,
left in a Finch photo in Sunday's edition of De Telegraaph, took the 73kgs gold
while 'wonder boy' Henry Shoeman won bronze in the same weight and
Danielle Vriezema a bronze at 63kgs.
Monday's edition of De Telegraph featured another Finch picture in the article
about Claudia Zwiers. Zwiers didn't quite match her team mates and
slipped to 5th after losing to Kumiko Horie JPN. While the Dutch took 3
medals from 15 players the British, with 16 players, were unable to take a
medal. London 2012 may not be quite 'round the corner'
but.................................!
