Judo: GB win gold, silver and 3 bronze at European Open

October 21, 2024

Great Britain took gold, a silver and three bronzes at the European Open for women in Rome at the weekend.

Sarah Adlington (+78kg) triumphed in the heavyweight category, while Megan Fletcher won silver in the -70kg event.

“I feel mixed emotions,” Fletcher said after the event. “I am disappointed that I lost the final after I made a silly mistake which cost me a yuko that I never recovered from.

“I felt really good though to come away with a silver which is the next best thing to gold.”

Meanwhile, Kelly Edwards (-52kg), Gemma Howell (-63kg) and Connie Ramsay (-57kg) all won bronze in their respective fields.

“It feels great to be back on the mat in an international competition,” said Howell. “I am frustrated that I conceded in the semi-finals and the final, as I feel I could have done better, but it’s not bad for a first international back.”
