Austria’s most experienced judoka Sabrina Filzmoser was awarded at the gala of the Austrian Judo Federation in the occasion of the 70-year anniversary. At a gala of OEJV and IJF Filzmoser was especially appreciated for her work outside the tatami.

Filzmoser who was a world number one for a long time but also a two-time world medallist and several times European Champion and who is still competing, is the perfect illustration of someone who goes beyond the "Faster, higher, stronger" motto. Sabrina has been involved for many year in helping the development of judo in Nepal and Bhutan and on the occasion of the Judo for Peace activities organized by the IJF in 2016, she joined the IJF in helping and instructing orphans. She then collected more than 250kg of equipments and she regularly goes back to Asia to follow up with the activities.

Filzmoser was honored for her permanent commitment to this wonderful project by IJF President, Marius Vizer, and AJF President, Hans Paul Kutschera, and she received the IJF Jigoro Kano Statue and with a Glass Trophy and Flowers.
