Shannon got about 0 hours of sleep last night due to a sick child, and had to weigh in at 6 am, but was still looking pretty sharp in the warmup room. She easily made her opener weight in warmups, and then easily made it again on her 1st attempt... except she failed to wait for the down signal from the judge, and got redlighted. I moved her up in weight, treating it like a make as it was easy, but she found herself with her back really against the wall after missing her 2nd attempt. Now needing to make her 3rd to stay in the competition, she came through on her 3rd, and was in the battle for a bronze medal, tied with her opponent after the snatch. We went conservative, matching her opponents lifts, until she again had a nerve wracking 3rd attempt in the c&j to win the bronze; she again hit her 3rd under pressure and got some hardware :) Way to go Shannon!
