It was an incredible day for Laura Fazliu and Katarina Krishton, who eventually faced each other for the bronze medal at the “Paris 2024” Olympic Games in the under-63-kilogram category, the European Judo Union writes.
“Fazliu and Krishto gave it their all, even going into golden score. Krishto began celebrating and the pair were positioned in the middle of the tatami. The referee signalled for the commission to review her action, and the final decision was to remove the waza-ari and replace it with a shido for a leg violation. The roles were reversed and Fazliu celebrated bronze, joining Kosovo’s team history of success,” EJU wrote on Tuesday.
