Odette Giuffrida books fifth Grand Slam victory and second in Abu Dhabi
With Odette Giuffrida, it is certainly the experienced generation that we see from Italy. She is world number six, twice an Olympic medallist and again on the podium in Doha this season at the world championships, Giuffrida is a sure value in Italian judo and a real powerhouse among her teammates. Seeded number one in Abu Dhabi, she captured the Grand Slam gold medal in Abu Dhabi, after perfectly controlling her contests, especially the semi-final against Astrid Gneto (FRA).
