Judiths come home with medals: Only one coordinator awaits them

Kosovo's Jurists have returned to Kosovo tonight, which was led by coach Driton Kuka at Tashkent's Grand Prix in Uzbekistan, have seized three gold and one silver medals, thus placing Kosovo first in the state medal rankings.

Majlinda Kelmendi, Distria Krasniqi, and Loriana Kuka took the gold in the race until Nora Gjakova took the silver, while Kosovo as a state has left countries like Azerbaijan, Germany, Russia and others behind.

National Co-ordinator for Youth, Culture and Sports Rexhep Hoti, on behalf of Kosovo Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj, congratulated Kosovo's jungles on the shooting victories in Uzbekistan.

There is a great fate that Kosovo has these girls and these boys, because it has to accept a fact, what Majlinda did with her colleagues in sports, has done much more than politics has done. The world knows Majlinda more than the Republic of Kosovo. This is not a bad thing, but a beautiful thing, because by recognising Majlinda, people know the Republic of Kosovo”, Hoti said.

We're back from a very important race, Grant Pri in Tashkent, the qualifying race for the Olympics. Three gold medals, one silver, best state, 47 participating states, the level of the extremely strong race. After the extraordinary outcome at Abu Dabi, where we won a gold medal, three silver medals, four contestants, and this time four contestants, three gold one silver. Last week at the European Championship, at the age of 23 years, we won two gold medals. Three extremely successful weeks, perhaps the most successful in the history of the sport of Judo”, Kuka said.

He said Hoti's been talking to today about the involvement of the Judo sport at the educational and educational level.

Olympic gold medalist Majlinda Kelmendi, who has returned to the Judo races after a 14-month pause, due to a mood injury, said he missed the moment of return as a winner.

We've been very successful as a team, and we've surprised the World Federation and every country in the world for good. Now they are comparing us with Cuba's farm team, which has always been a superpower in Judo, while now Kosovo is seeing Cuba at that time”, she said.

Other racer Nora Gjakova, however, indicated that she felt inadequate when she won the silver medal, as she was accustomed to winning only gold medals.

“Throughout the year I won gold medals, this has been the first silver medal and I didn't feel good, because it's the first time I've taken the silver medal and the Kosovo anthem was not heard again”, Gjakova said.

Kukan recently indicated that in order to participate in the Olympic events, they must have six scores during an Olympic year where the right points are taken
