Japanese groundworker Shori Hamada stable with gold
The gold medal for Japan’s Hamada Shori is not really a surprise. She is the number two on the World Ranking List, she was world champion in 2018 and was finalist in 2019. Hamada is part of the Japanese team which will participate in the Olympic Games this summer. The Antalya Grand Slam was therefore a good test for her, pitted against the Polish judoka Beata Pacut, fifth in Tashkent a few weeks ago and who delivered a good performance by reaching the final.
