Judoka Ketleyn Quadros was the great Brazilian highlight this Saturday in the Abu Dhabi Grand Slam disputes. Passing by the Czech Renata Zachova, the Brazilian won the bronze medal in the 63 kg category.

The only defeat of the national athlete ended up being in the quarterfinals. The Australian Katharina Haecker, with 16 seconds to go, knocked the Brazilian down and went ahead with a wazzari. In the repechage, Ketleyn beat Israeli Gili Sharir and Renata Zachova, European junior champion in 2020.

This Sunday (28), Beatriz Souza, in the over 78kg category, will be the last Brazilian representative to take action at the event, which closes the World Tour of the modality in 2021.
