Judo is a sport in which Kosovo has shone for years and built a wonderful tradition full of victories. The same is happening at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
Distria Krasniqi, gold medalist at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games and European champion in 2021 and 2024, has qualified for the semifinals of the under-52 kg category.
The 28-year-old from Peja defeated Israel’s Gefen Primo in the quarterfinals and is now one step away from an Olympic medal and the grand final.
Earlier, Distria Krasniqi had beaten Indonesia’s Maryam March Maharani, dominating completely. The same happened against the Israeli judoka.
The big surprise so far is the elimination of Japan’s Uta Abe, considered the clear favorite for the gold medal.
The Dardanian champion will face Italy’s Odette Giuffrida in the semifinal bout.
