Yep. And if that's true, sadly all one can do now is hope she has found peace.

Judo World Champion  Jorge Fonseca tested positive to covid-19...

 

also another Portuguese athlete, women's -57kg specialist Wilsa Gomes, was forced to leave the national training camp in Coimbra because of a covid-19 positive test...

 

earlier this year quite a few famous Judo players (or former players) got infected...among them,  Edith Bosch and  Loic Pietri...

In three weeks the European Championships in Prague should start, let's hope that despite thousands of new cases of corona everywhere in Europe and especially in Czech Republic, the event will happen.

 

We have provisional entry list for this event.  are among missing countries

I think there's still some time to change those entries...

 

for instance, Italy have expressed their intention to take part in the event...wether it would finally be possible, that's another story (we were forced to withdraw from Budapest Grand Slam because 3 of our athletes tested positive once they came to Hungary)...

 Netherlands also expressed their intention to participate in the event, except Kim Polling (-70kg) and some others. So we definitely won't send our best team.

This is more than excellent news, Tessie Savelkouls has been on the tatami yesterday for the first time since her horror leg injury in February (shortly after which doctors gave her a 1% chance to simply walk normally again!)
