These days in the fantastic setting of the city of Heraklion in Crete in Greece the European Veteran Judo Championships 2022 are being held.
In the building the San Marino anthem resounded thanks to the fantastic gold of Jessica Zannoni in the 78 kg F3.
Jessica, despite her weight of 70kg (8 kg of waste in a combat sport are definitely penalized) after beating two German athletes by resolutely conquering both matches before the end of the term, in the final she sees herself opposed to the strong Italian Battistella Lara , which manages well carrying even 9 attacks and scoring a wazari with a technique of legs, putting a well-deserved gold medal around his neck.
This result, one of the most important for the San Marino athlete, also because achieved with great sacrifices, gives the FJLAS hope for the Games of the Small European States which will be held in Malta exactly in one year.
