Greece’s Elisavet Teltsidou won the gold medal at the Judo International Grand Prix in Tashkent, Uzbekistan on Saturday.
It was her second victory this year and the third time she stood up on the international podium as a gold medalist.
Teltsidou reached the semifinals with two wins. The first was against Pogacnick from Slovenia and she also defeated Kuglan from Australia, gaining a ticket to the final, where she was too strong for Jagger from the Netherlands.
