Nora Gjakova has successfully returned from the injury that kept her out of judo competitions since February 16. Nora competed in the "Lima Panamerican Open" in distant Peru. The competition was not at Nora's level as a judoka, but it was still very important to her.
She scored two wins and won the gold medal.
Apart from having a test, albeit an easy one, before the Olympic Games, Nora with the success in Peru has secured a position in the world ranking list. Thus, at the Olympic Games, she will be the seventh lifter in the category up to 57 kilograms and not the eighth lifter. And based on the analyzes made by the Kosovar judo team, the path to the medal may be easier from the seventh place. For this, the sacrifice was made to travel to distant Peru in the middle of the preparation phase for the Olympics. In the ranking, Nora now surpasses the Serbian Marica Perishić.
Nora is Kosovo's great hope for a medal in "Paris 2024". The judo competition at the Olympic Games is held in late July and early August.
The Olympic champion from "Tokyo 2020" was injured in the Grand Slam in Baku, Azerbaijan. Due to a muscle injury, he could not appear in the final. The recovery phase was successful.
