Was not expecting Keldiyorova  to defeat Krasniqi  

and how she destroyed the 48kg Olympic Gold medallist! 

 

the Uzbek girl is really strong, aggressive and has a lot of skills.

 

she's gonna be a very tough contender for Abe, Krasniqi, Giles and Giuffrida in the hunt for Paris 2024 medals. 

 

however, Judo is the new Basketball/Waterpolo...I mean, the Italians can't win a single fight anymore against any Serbian player...  

 

also Today, 3 Italian women facing 3 Serbian women and guess what? the Serbians won all 3 fights. 

 

and 2 of these 3 losses have to be considered a huge disappointment (Scutto in the -48kg and Toniolo in the -57kg, especially this one coming just after the Italian defeated/destroyed the reigning world Champion Rafaela Silva in the previous round).

 

Tomorrow I only expect Martina Esposito (-70kg) to do well.

To be fair, Serbian basketball team was rather dissaponting last few times vs Italy

Anyways, a nice bronze for Jessica Klimkait   Should be a great battle between her and Deguchi for the -57kg quota at Paris 2024. 

If Klimkait has a better result at the World Championship in Doha, it's almost over for Duguchi for Paris 2024,
Is a stupid move from Deguchi stays in 57kg ...

The alternatives aren't great either. She either bumps out her sister or she has to defeat another top athlete

finally, Esposito got a bronze medal...but at what price?

 

it was clear that she couldn't continue her fight in the last 30+ seconds of the BMM because she had a severe injury to the left shoulder, she was basically graced by the ref & judges because they didn't want her to lose a match she just dominated until the injury (caused by her opponent).

 

let's hope it's not too bad, as we're just a few weeks away from the world champs and it would be a true disaster if she can't compete and be competitive in the major event of the season (since she's the absolute key to our team's chances in the team event...actually, without her, we don't have a team at all).
