Olivia was selected to represent Team USA in the girls 13-14 year old, under 40 kg category. The division included girls from Puerto Rico, Ecuador, Brazil, Colombia, Dominican Republic and the United States of America.

Her tournament began with a tough fought loss against the Dominican player in the first round.  Ms. Crimaldi battled back through the repechage bracket defeating athletes from Puerto Rico and Brazil.  These wins secured her a spot on the podium with a bronze medal finish.
