We're right into the next final here. Ane and Injana are up. Injana uses a body lock to get on top and she's smashing the guard with her knee. She passes but before the points section. She uses a gift wrap to take the back though! She does score that, up 3-0 now. Ane will spend the last few minutes trying to pry Injana off but it's not enough. Goodman sweeps the Euro Trials this season.

• Men's -77kg - Nikolay Vetrov def. Taylor Pearman by penalty

Taylor comes out and lets himself get pushed over so he can begin playing guard. The head table seems to have given Taylor a penalty for that, considering it a pull. Vetrov drops back, Pearman comes up. Now Taylor drops back on his own leg lock attempt, they are in double pull as points hit. Taylor finally comes up, he needs to pass. He's working on a knee cut. 90 seconds. Time ticking away and Taylor won't get it done. The bad pull decides the final.

Nia now playing guard as points hit. Anabel can't pass and we are into OT. Two minutes down, no major attempts yet. Going to decision, could go either way. Anabel gets it.
