Italian Judokas Shine at World Championships with Three Medals: Gold, Silver, and Bronze

After Odette Giuffrida’s gold in the 52 kg and Assunta Scutto’s silver in the 58 kg, Italy wins its third medal at the world championships underway in Abu Dhabi thanks to Alice Bellandi. The Fiamme Gialle athlete came close to the -78 kg title, losing to the German Anna-Maria Wagner in the final, after a match fought until the Golden Score. “I am not presumptuous if I say that I participate in these events to win” commented the 25-year-old from Brescia. “I wasn’t here for a final like this, but I have to honor this medal and I will do it by improving myself.” With this silver Bellandi, current no. 3 in the world ranking, already European vice-champion and world championship bronze in the 2023 edition, confirms herself among the favorites at the next Olympics: “Two months of work await me to get to Paris ready to conquer what I left here today.”
