Maroulis Upsets Threetime Olympic Champ Yoshida Wins First Gold for US in Womens Wrestling From: Tim Foley [email protected] Subject: Maroulis Upsets Three-Time Olympic Champ Yoshida, Wins First Gold for U.S. in Women’s Wrestling Date: August 18, 2016 at 5:41 PM To: [email protected] Maroulis Upsets Three-Time Olympic Champ Yoshida, Wins First Gold for U.S. in Women’s Wrestling by William May // Photo: Gabor Martin, United World Wrestling RIO DE JANEIRO (August 18) – Helen MAROULIS (USA) won the battle of reigning world champions on Thursday when she defeated living legend Saori YOSHIDA (JPN), 4-1, at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. Maroulis, who won the world title at 55kg last year, slipped out of a headlock early in the second period for a 2-1 lead in the 53kg final, then added a takedown with less than a minute remaining to give the United States its first Olympic Games gold medal in women’s wrestling. “I’ve been dreaming about wrestling Saori for so long. She’s my hero; she’s the most decorated wrestler ever,” Maroulis said after her victory. “It is such an honor to have wrestled her.” For Yoshida, it was the first time in 14 years that she had not finished on top of the medals podium after winning three Olympic Games gold medals and 13 world championship titles. “I should have attacked sooner and more quickly, but (Maroulis) was just stronger than me,” a disconsolate Yoshida told reporters after her loss. Japanese fans, however, regained some of their festive mood from Risako KAWAI (JPN), who claimed her first world-level title as a senior with three takedowns for a 6-0 win over Maria MAMASHUK (BLR). Risako KAWAI (JPN) Kawai, world silver medalist one year ago, earned Japan its fourth gold medal in women’s wrestling at Rio 2016 and 11th overall since Athens 2004 where the discipline made its Olympic Games debut. In the finale of the women’s events, Erica WIEBE (CAN) stepped over a failed force-out attempt for two points in the first period of the 75kg final with Guzel MANYUROVA (KAZ). Wiebe then added a double-leg takedown and a spin behind in the second for a 6-0 victory. Erica WIEBE (CAN) Wiebe’s gold medal is the second for Canada after Carol HUYNH (CAN) won the 48kg title at Beijing 2008. Despite the loss, 38-year-old Manyurova secured her third Olympic Games medal. Previously, Manyurova took a silver medal for Russia at Athens 2004 and then grabbed a bronze medal four years ago in London. In the bronze medal matches at 53kg, Natalia SINISHIN (AZE) took the last point off three “shot clock” situations for a 2-1 win over Betzabeth ARGUELLO (VEN). Sofia MATTSSON (SWE) dumped ZHONG Xuechen (CHN) to her back off the whistle and heard the slap of the mat at 29 seconds. At 63kg, Yekaterina LARIONOVA (KAZ) threw Elena PIROZHKOVA (USA) with an arm-trap, back-arching throw early in the second period and pressed for the fall at 4:01. Monika MICHALIK (POL) scored a pair of go-behind takedowns on her way to a 6-3 win over Inna TRAZHUKOVA (RUS). ZHANG Fengliu (CHN) At 75kg, ZHANG Fengliu (CHN) forged an 8-4 back-and-forth win over Vasilisa MARZALIUK (BLR) and Ekaterina BUKINA (RUS) scored a spin- behind takedown in the closing seconds to secure a 5-3 victory over Laure ALI ANNABEL (CMR).

  • Coating Formulations Suitable for Biodegradable Microneedles with Immediate Release Jonas Nygren
    Coating Formulations Suitable for Biodegradable Microneedles with Immediate Release Jonas Nygren Master thesis, 30 hp Master’s Programme in Pharmaceutical Science, 120 hp Report approved: Spring term 2018 Supervisors: Susanne Bredenberg and Sofia Mattsson. Examinor: Olov Nilsson Abstract Introduction: The administration of hypodermic needles can be associated with issues like physical and psychological pain. A novel method to administrate compounds such as vaccines and other drugs is therefore warranted. Microneedles (MNs) that consist of multiple needles in the microscopic region causes little to no pain and have successfully delivered drugs both locally and systemically. The MNs are often divided into subgroups like biodegradable MNs that can either be coated for immediate release or have the drug substance incorporated in the material resulting in an extended release. The biodegradable MNs in this study were made from calcium sulfate, commonly known as gypsum, which have been used previously in for example craniofacial surgeries. Objective: The purpose of the study was to find coating formulations that displayed good coating uniformity without compromising the needle sharpness. The formulation should be evenly distributed on top of the MN array without diffusing into the material. It should also be miscible with sodium salicylate and present an immediate release according to release studies. Method: MN arrays were constructed of calcium sulfate with two different sieve fractions (≤125 µm and ≤63µm) to determine the potential difference. After determining the optimal sieve fraction the MNs were coated with different combinations of PEG 3350, sodium alginate, Kollicoat® IR and distilled water which acted as a reference. Evaluation of the formulations concerned coating uniformity and the extent of diffusion through the material.

  • Yoshida Icho American Duo Lead in Preolympic Womens Rankings
    From: Tim Foley [email protected] Subject: Yoshida, Icho, American Duo Lead in Pre-Olympic Women’s Rankings Date: July 27, 2016 at 4:25 PM To: [email protected] Yoshida, Icho, American Duo Lead in Pre-Olympic Women’s Rankings By William May, United World Wrestling CORSIER-SUR-VEVEY (July 26) – Saori YOSHIDA (JPN) and Kaori ICHO (JPN) complete another championship cycle atop their weight categories in the pre-Olympic United World Wrestling rankings for women’s wrestling in July. It is the fourth summer in a row since the international rankings were first created for United World Wrestling predecessor, FILA, that Yoshida and Icho are heading into the world meet holding the top ranking in their respective categories. This year, however, Yoshida and Icho are not looking ahead to the world championships but rather have set their sights on winning gold medals in an unprecedented fourth Olympic Games in a row. Meanwhile, the world champion duo Helen MAROULIS (55kg) and Adeline GRAY (75kg) have remained unchallenged in their categories, keeping an eye on becoming the first Olympic Games gold medalists in women’s wrestling for the United States. Valerie KOBLOVA (RUS) Icho, who suffered her first loss on the mat since 2003 in January, came back with a decisive triumph at 58kg at the Poland Open in June, but has watched as 2014 world silver medalist Valerie KOBLOVA (RUS) won the Spanish Grand Prix in July and climbed to No.2 in the rankings. Yoshida, meanwhile, has not been seen since last September’s world championships in Las Vegas, but will be ready for European champion Sofia MATTSSON (SWE), the silver medalist to Yoshida in each of the last three world meets this Olympic cycle.

  • Wrestling Roundup: Russia Men Still Dominates, Japan Women Repeats Glory 08:50, August 22, 2008
    Wrestling Roundup: Russia men still dominates, Japan women repeats glory 08:50, August 22, 2008 Russia continued its dominance in wrestling, one of world's oldest sports, at the Beijing Olympics, while Japanese female wrestlers made the same achievements as they did in Athens. In particular, Russia topped the medal tally with six golds, three silvers and two bronzes, followed by Japan and Georgia with two golds. China, Uzbekistan, the United States, Canada, France, Turkey, Cuba and Italy got one each. * RUSSIAN MEN'S DOMINANCE* Before the Olympics, people expected to see Russia continue their ruling in men's freestyle wrestling, after it won six of seven titles in World Championships in Baku, Azerbaijan. At the Athens Games, Russia ranked first with 5-2-3, all golds from men's wrestling. In all, Russia won six of eighteen wrestling golds at the Beijing Games, three in Greco- Roman and three in freestyle. They failed to move further in men's freestyle, while the Greco- Roman won one more than they had four years ago. Nazyr Mankiev opened the gate of victory as he won men's Greco-Roman 55kg title, which was also the first gold of wrestling events at the Beijing Olympics. Islam-Beka Albiev of 60kg and Aslanbek Khushtov of 96kg separately triumphed in their categories, which let Russia win golds totally different from they won in Athens. Russia won Greco-Roman golds in 84kg and 120kg divisions. Athens winner in freestyle 55kg Mavlet Batirov moved up to 60kg category in 2006 and easily won golds at Beijing.
