Our martial artists won a bronze medal in the team competition
The World Judo Championship among military personnel has ended in Paris. In team competitions, our athletes rose to the podium.
Our martial artists, who defeated Brazil in the quarterfinals, lost to rivals from Austria in the semifinals with a small difference in the score. In the duel for the bronze award, the national team defeated Iran. Unfortunately, our girls lost in the fight for third place to rivals from Austria. It is worth noting that in team competitions our judoists defended the colors of the National Flag in the composition with 3 girls, instead of the 5 stated in the regulations. And this means that the advantage of our athletes' rivals increases by two points. Despite this, the domestic athletes were able to get to the fight for the third place.
Recall that our judoists won 4 gold and 1 bronze medals in individual competitions and took first place in the team competition.
In turn, the National Olympic Committee congratulates the Judo Federation of Uzbekistan and the athletes for their victory at the 40th anniversary World Championship among military personnel.
