European bronze

Mireia Lapuerta has won the bronze medal in the European Championship, which was held in Sofia (Bulgaria). With this metal, Mireia gets her second medal in a European after gold in the U-18 category two years ago. This time in the very difficult category of under 21, showing in his second junior year (he still has another), which is already a reality for many international Judo. Mireia fought in the first round because of her position as a seed, won in second without major problems to the local Judoka, in third she lost a fight that was tracked by wazari against the world number one in the last seconds of the fight for an error in a attack. In the play-off he won one of the favorites, the French judoka, for wazari against, and in the bout for the bronze against the European champion and world runner-up. Mireia marks a beautiful ippon of O uchi gari in just over a minute.
