Elis Startseva, winner of the European Youth Judo Championship, believes that she was able to win a gold medal following the results of the All-Russian competition final in memory of VM Andreeva due to fatigue of the opponent.
All-Russian competitions take place in Moscow from August 16-17. Startseva won in the over 78 kg category, beating Russian judo champion Maria Ivanova in the deciding match.
– The level of the tournament can be compared with the Russian championship, because Samara athletes, who are several times winners and champions of Russia, took part in it. It was necessary to remember your competitive form and prepare for the upcoming season.
I logged into the final as usual, I have already met this athlete more than once. I missed the attack at the start of the fight, I almost lost, but then I lit up, the opponent was tired, and I took this chance. I am preparing for September, I will have a Grand Slam in Baku and the Russian Championship in Kemerovo, Startseva told .
