Today is the final day of the WFDF World Ultimate and Guts Championships and Team USA looks to cap off the tournament with strong performances in the final game of the Open and Women's division.

The Americans already claimed the gold medal in Fridays championship game against Canada in the Master's Women division. A closely contested game ended with USA pulling out the 15-13 victory to win gold.

Team USA has two more shots at claiming gold when they play in the finals of the Open and women's division. The Americans barely escaped with a 17-16 win in the semifinal match up against Canada, and now face Great Britain for the Open title. On the women's side Team USA outlasted Canada in the semis and will battle Japan in the championship game

The hosting Japanese squads have given the Americans tons of trouble so far in the tournament. Forcing the US to accept fourth place twice already.

In the third place games of the Masters Open division and the Mixed division USA was unable to come away with the victory. Falling to Japan 17-14 in the masters open division and once again 15-13 to a Japanese squad in the mixed division.

Next Level sports will post the results of the gold medal games as they role in. Even with two fourth place finishes the Americans have been one of the strongest teams in Japan this year.  With the London Olympics only weeks away the WUGC is proving that Ultimate belongs on the biggest stage in the world.
