Early in the day Kelly dropped a pool bout to Finland’s Catharina Kock 5-1 but won all of her other preliminary matches and entered the direct eliminations seeded 18th. She managed to squeeze out three tough victories to make the top-8. Her first two elimination matches went 15-14 and then she upset #2 seed Ewa Nelip of Poland in a 5-4 match, the lowest point total for an elimination match all day.
Kelly’s sister, Courtney took 13th at the event after being eliminated by Simona 15-7 in the round of 16.
