The United States won the gold medal in the World Games 'Ultimate' flying disc competition with a 13-6 win over Japan Tuesday, exacting revenge for its only preliminary round loss. The Japanese defeated the United States 13-11 in the final qualifier Tuesday morning to earn a spot in the gold medal game, but the U.S. capitalized on its size advantage and superior skills and player tighter defense to control the final. The U.S. jumped out to a 7-4 lead at halftime and was rarely threatened in the second half despite the Japanese team's efforts to mount a comeback. Beaufort Kittredge, Bartholomew Watson, Sam Chatterton-Kirchmeier and Seth Wiggans each threw for two scores, and Dylan Tunnelln caught three of them to key the U.S. victory. Japan, which saw Eri Herai throw for four scores in the losing effort, won the silver medal. The competition among the Japanese and American rooting sections was nearly as intense as that on the field, with the two groups trying to outdo each other. The Taiwanese fans seemed to favor the Americans. Australia was bounced from gold medal contention by a 13-9 loss to Canada in its final preliminary game Tuesday morning, but also rebounded in the evening to beat the Canadians 13-8 for the bronze medal. Australia's Jonathan Holmes threw for five goals and Matthew Dowle for three in the bronze medal winning effort. Host Chinese Taipei lost to Great Britain 13-6 in the fifth place match, placing it last in the six-team competition.
