A few days ago the 2024 World Judo Championship was held in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates and the representatives of Guanajuato, Prisca Awiti and Paulina Martínez, achieved two victories and continue to add points in the ranking towards Paris 2024.
Let us remember that the two judokas have the possibility of representing the entity and Mexico in the next Olympic Games that will be held next summer, as they are among the list of athletes with the possibility of achieving the goal.
The competitions in Abu Dhabi lasted three days and were organized by the IJF (International Judo Federation), so points were awarded for the ranking towards Paris 2024.
The Olympian in Tokyo 2020, Prisca Guadalupe Awiti Alcaraz of the women’s -63 kilogram category, took her only victory by beating the Italian Flavia Favorini, and the dream of going to The City of Light remains intact.
Unfortunately for Prisca, she fell in her next fight against the Spanish Cristina Pérez.
For her part, Paulina Martínez, current Central American and Pan American runner-up, defeated March Maharani of Indonesia in her first fight. Later, Martínez crashed against Argentina’s Sofía Fiora and was out of the competition.
Both Prisca Awiti and Paulina Martinez were the ones who delivered the best results in this Arab competition.
And the thing is, Edna Carrillo -48 kg, Arath Juárez -60 kg and Gilberto Cardoso -73 kg, also attended this judo world championship, but fell in the first phase against the Swedish Tara Babulfath, the North Korean Kwang Chae and Moldovan Adil Osmanov, respectively.
Remember that the Olympic ranking of the specialty will close on June 23 and the expectation is that Awiti and Martínez will achieve the ticket; Awiti is number 18 on the list, while Paulina momentarily holds the continental quota.
