Great success for Swiss judoka Binta Ndiaye: the 21-year-old from Vaud made it into the top three at the Grand Prix in Zagreb for the second time at this level.
The 2021 and 2022 Junior World Championship bronze medallist racked up victory after victory in the Croatian capital before being stopped in the semi-final by local Ana Viktorija Puljiz. In the small final, Ndiaye defeated the Kosovan Flaka Loxham thanks to her strength in the ground fight and secured 3rd place.
After the Grand Slams, Grand Prix are the most important tournaments in judo outside of the World Championships and Olympic Games.
