Laura Fazliu is outstanding – wins bronze medal at the World Championships

Kosovan judoka Laura Fazliu has won the bronze medal at the World Championships being held in Hungary.

Laura Fazliu defeated Polish judoka Natalia Kropska by ‘Ippon’ in her first bout in the under-63-kilogram category.

Fazliu continued her winning run in the second bout, this time defeating Italian Carlotta Avanzato, also by ‘Ippon’.

Meanwhile, she received a bye in the first round of the repechage in the under-63-kilogram category, where she was scheduled to face Mongolia’s Enkhriilen Lkhagvatogoo.

However, the Mongolian judoka had injured her hand in the previous bout and for this reason did not come out onto the tatami.

In the bronze medal final, Fazliu triumphed by ‘Ippon’ after a beautiful throw against Brazilian judoka Nauana Silva.
