Budapest – Judoka Sabrina Filzmoser was eliminated in the first round of her 15th and last World Championships. The 40-year-old World Cup third from 2010 had to admit defeat to Bulgarian Iwelina Iliewa with Ippon on Tuesday in Budapest in the class up to 57 kg after one and a half minutes.
“I would have liked her to do better. Measured against the training performance, that was absolutely possible. I just hope that Sabrina will keep her European quota for the Olympic Games in Tokyo,” said ÖJV head coach Yvonne Bönisch. You keep your fingers crossed for Filzmoser that she will still achieve her last sporting goal.
On Wednesday Magdalena Krssakova and Shamil Borchashvili will be in action for Austria at the World Cup. (APA, June 8th, 2021)
