The last category of the opening day of the Grand Slam in Paris was won by Barbara Timo for Portugal, a result which, if expected at the start of the day, was not obvious, since the Portuguese judoka was not among the favourites for the title. She stepped down a category and won the gold. Only three Portuguese have won in Paris: current coach Pedro Soares and Telma Monteiro. Barbara Timo is the third who wrote history.
There are days like this, however, when everything works. It must be said that Timo is no stranger to this level, since she was world silver medallist in 2019 and third at the European championships, but it was in the higher weight category. Now at U63kg, it is therefore already a major title, which bodes well for her future. The silver medal went to Lucy Renshall (GBR).
Manon Deketer (FRA) takes the ninth podium place of the day for the host country, with bronze this time, while Angelika Szymanska (POL) takes the second bronze medal.
