ROME - Once again, our wonderful Odette Giuffrida (Army) confirmed her quality by winning the world championship bronze medal. Starting as the top seed, Odette faced Rodrigues (BRA) in her opening match, defeating her by three penalties to two. In her second match, she faced Moroccan Iraoui, winning by yuko. In the quarterfinals, she defeated Mammadaliyeva (AZE), scoring the first yuko with tomoe-nage, the second with kata guruma, and managing to secure the final ippon thanks to a sukashi on uchi-mata. The Italian then lost in the semifinals to Spain's Toro Soler, losing by ippon.
