“It feels so fantastic”, the athlete told IJF Media. “Also winning this final with ippon makes it extra special. Nevertheless, it was a tough day. The weather is hot, and the bouts were tiresome. It was difficult to recuperate between the matches. But I persevered and the outcome is priceless. It certainly is an enormous confidence boost for the upcoming Worlds in Japan.”
