Elena Quirici ends the Karate World Championships in Cairo with a disappointment. In the fight for one of the two bronze medals in the Kumite category up to 68 kg, she was defeated by Anastasia Velozo from Chile 7:13.
The day before, Elena Quirici had failed in the semi-final against Janessa Michelle Fonseca from Puerto Rico. It would have been the 31-year-old from Aargau's third World Championship medal after bronze in 2012 and silver in 2023.
