Distria Krasniqi: I'm glad I brought a gold medal to Kosovo

Krasniqi has said she feels very happy that she managed to bring a gold medal to Kosovo, and has thanked Judo queen Majlinda Kelmendi, who she views as her travel teacher.

Thank you. Thank you for your warm welcome. I didn't know it would be like this. I am glad that I brought Kosovo the gold medal”, he said somehow.

“Milinda with her work has made me believe anything is possible. I've worked hard and here I am before you already as Olympic champion. I would encourage all of you, especially the young people who are on a large scale tonight to work hard for your dreams. Thank you for supporting us. Thank you for helping us with the preparations. Thank you, Tony, thank you all. The two medals -- ” -- concluded Krasniqi.

Distria Krasniqi and Nora Gjakova are the only two athletes from Kosovo to provide gold medals in Tokyo. Earlier in the Olympic Games, Majlinda Kelmendi, in Rio 2016, had won gold medals./Periscopi/
