Zagreb Grand Prix

Natalie Powell – Zagreb Grand Slam gold

written by Hugh

On the final day of the Zagreb Grand Prix, Natalie Powell won gold to add to the bronze medal she recently won at the Tbilisi Grand Slam.

Entering the -78kg category seeded 6^th. Powell had an opening-round bye before victories against Linda Politi (ITA) and Beata Pacut-Kloczko (POL) progressed her to the Semi-Finals.

Powell booked her place in the final in style, defeating 3x Olympic bronze medallist and double World Champion Mayra Aguiar (BRA) by ippon score.

Top seed and world number 3 Inbar Lanir (ISR) awaited Powell in the Final. As the clock ticked past the 90-second mark, Powell went to ground applying an arm lock, which subsequently forced her opponent to tap out, handing Powell her 4^th career Grand Slam gold medal.
