IT wasn’t the outcome judoka Karra Hanna anticipated at the Central American and Caribbean Games being held in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.

Hanna, 26, lost 1-0 with one minute and 57 seconds in the semi-finals by Ippon to Brigette Carabali of Colombia in the women's +78 kilogram class.

Earlier in the day at the Judo Pavilion, Hanna prevailed with a 1-0 win over Izayana Marenco of Nicaragua by Ippon in 1:59 in the first round.

Hanna's performance came after Xavion Johnson, who lost 1-0 by Ippon in 0:41 in the first round to Ruiz Ferney of Colombia in the -73 kg repechage.

Johnson, 20, lost earlier in the day in the quarterfinals to Ulises Mendez of Mexico by Ippon in 0:43 in the first round.

Hanna and Johnson will now head to Glasgow, Scotland, where they will join the rest of Team Bahamas as they compete at the Commonwealth Games.
