Another six judokas who train at the facilities of CE Nuestra Señora de Las Nieves, in Marzagán, participated in the important international event.
Laura Volo (-78kg), managed to get into the final after beating the French Morgane Rubiano in the semifinalswho came to the event as the number 1 seed and who had recently won the silver medal at the European Cup in Paris and gold at the European Cup in Coimbra (Portugal). The tactical aspect was key to securing his first medal in an international event.
In the grand finale she was surprised by the Spanish Noelia Insua Iglesiasin a very even match that was decided in the golden score (extension of time when the fight ends even), with a minister.
Paola Santana (-57 kg), Eric Morales (-60 kg), David García (-66 kg), Giovanni Suárez (-66 kg), Carlos D. Gutierrez (-73 kg) and Pablo González (-81 kg), the rest of the judokas from Gran Canaria could not access the fight for the metals.
