Assunta Scutto fifth ever Junior World Champion for Italy
For the host country of a world championship, securing a medal from day one is always very important. By qualifying for the U48kg final, Assunta Scutto (ITA) was able to bring a smile to the faces of the entire Italian delegation. Perhaps the hardest part remained though, against Russia's Irena Khubulova, who also qualified for the final. The Junior World Championships had the best possible start with Scutto's gold medal.
