Unfortunately, in the final she was defeated by the representative of Moldova, Beatrice Herta.
Ali Babić also confirmed his excellent form with several previous tournaments for younger ages in the category up to 55 kilograms.
In the first round of the competition, the talented judoka from Bosnia and Herzegovina defeated the Montenegrin Aleksi Bratić, and then he defeated the Romanian representative Gabriel Marina Iannis, in order to ensure his appearance in the final by defeating Hamza Ayan from Turkey. In the fight for the most brilliant award, Babić lost to the Turkish representative Mehmet Talha Oruc.
– Defeats in the finals are never easy, especially in competitions like the Balkan Championship, where only the best from the region come. Nevertheless, two silver medals from such a strong and high-quality tournament are a reason for satisfaction, but also an indicator of quality work in our club – said Eldin Lukač, one of the founders and trainers of the Judo club “Braća Lukač”.
The Balkan Judo Championship for U14 competitors, which will feature a total of 48 competitors from Bosnia and Herzegovina, ends today.
