Russian middleweight Anastasiia Konkina made a highly-impressive IJF Grand Prix debut as she won all three of her contests by ippon including the final.
The 22-year-old Former Orenburg European Cup winner proved to be unbeatable in Tashkent as she beat German European Cup bronze medallist Manon Durbach of Luxembourg in the U52kg final. A waza-ari from a ko-soto-gake gave the Russian youngster the lead and control of the contest and she followed up by countering an uchi-mata for a second and match-winning waza-ari.
In the first semi-final Durbach held down 22-year-old Anna Kazyulina (KAZ) for 20 seconds and ippon to book a place in the final. In the second semi-final Konkina defeated former Almaty Grand Prix bronze medallist Sevara Nishanbayeva (KAZ) by the maximum score.
The first bronze medal was won by Nishanbayeva who pinned down 22-year-old Amangul Allanazarova (UZB) - who has only ever competed in Uzbekistan – with a yoko-shiho-gatame. The second bronze medal was won by 17-year-old Sanobar Sultanova (UZB) who bested Kazyulina as the Kazakh fighter was disqualified for an illegal head dive.
