Distria Krasniqi has written important chapters in the history of Kosovo sports. She won Olympic silver on Sunday.
For the second time, Kosovo Judistist has made room at the most valuable stage in sports, the Olympic podium.
The silver medal, Distria, won in the category of up to 50 pounds [52 kg] in Paris.
Three years ago, Tokyo was golden in the category of up to 40 pounds [48 kg]. So now he has two Olympic medals, which are the most important in sports.
In the final of the 52kg category, Distria was defeated by the first carrier, the Dieora Keldiyoova Uzbeka. She's lost for the second time. Another loss was years old.
Distria was the second host, and as far as the final, there was amazing road.
First lap was free. In the latter, she quickly won over Indonesia's Maryam Maharan. It was a matter of seconds. 39 exactly. It was a victory with beautiful Ippon.
1:06 minutes of quarterfinal warfare with Israeli Gefen Primo. So she resisted a little longer. But he touched Tatam with his back, and Distria went on.
Worldly champion, Italian Odette Giuffrieda, was an opponent of the distance in the semifinals. Judith Peyan began safely. He quickly pushed the inappropriate Italian into two sentences. The war was then very tactical. There was no jump, but there was constant effort from the District. The war went to overtime. That's where the District was seriously endangered for the first time. But he avoided falling, and war continued for a while. After 6:10 minutes of war, the judge handed out sentences for both jungles for war evasion. For the District was first. For Gideon's third. And that meant another victory with Ippon for the Distria Krasniqi.
The final and the entire race was developed in the magnificent atmosphere at “Champ de Mars Arena”, in the heart of Paris, right near the Eiffel Tower. Over 8,000 viewers were all day long in this temporary arena. The arena will be dismantled by the end of the year. Distria Krasniqi's work will be permanent.
