Faiza Mokdar triumphs with flair in U57kg final in Astana
France’s Faiza Mokdar put on a masterclass in the women’s under 57kg final, overcoming Japan’s Momo Tamaoki with explosive style and tactical sharpness. Just 70 seconds into the bout, Mokdar landed a lightning-fast seoi-otoshi for waza-ari, setting the tone. Despite intense pressure from Tamaoki, Mokdar was composed and brilliant in defence, escaping a late pin to seal the gold medal, arguably her finest performance on the international stage so far.
