The Ukrainian initially won the fight, but her opponent filed a protest
Ukrainian karateka Angelica Terlyuga lost the final World Cup 2023 due to the opponent’s protest, which was satisfied by the judges.
First, the Ukrainian in the women’s category up to 55 kg won the semi-final bout of the 2023 World Cup in Budapest against Ivet Goranova from Bulgaria – 14:11.
However, then the Bulgarian side filed a protest due to a technical fault. It turned out that the scoreboard in the arena was not working during the fight, which is why the fight was mistakenly delayed by 20 seconds.
The protest was satisfied. The judges returned the competitors to the tatami, rewinding the time to the moment when Goranova was leading 5:4. The Bulgarian managed to bring the fight to a final victory – 6:4.
Now Terlyuga faces the “bronze” final on October 28. Two of Anzhelika’s compatriots will also fight for bronze medals in Budapest – Andrey Zaplitny (up to 75 kg) and Valery Chobotar (up to 84 kg).
The 2023 World Championships in Budapest started on October 24. The final matches will begin on October 28.
