The first day of the Baku Grand Slam judo tournament ended successfully for the Uzbekistan national team. Diyora Keldiyorova, competing in the up to 52 kg weight category, won a gold medal, defeating two-time Olympic medalist Odetta Giufrida from Italy in the final.
It should be noted that this was Keldiyorova’s fifth gold medal at a Grand Slam competition. She also adds 1,000 points to her world and Paris 2024 rankings. Another important point: this victory will make Keldiyorova the leader of the world rankings next week.
