Olympic champion in taekwondo Milica Mandic won the gold medal today in the G1 category up to 73 kilograms at the international tournament in Bahrain.

Mandic was free at the start of the tournament and in the second round she defeated local competitor Hedaya Malak Ahmed Wahbi to 7:0, and in the final she was better than the Andjela Popovic from Montenegro to 12:0.

“I am satisfied with the result, because I won 10 points in the world list. Unfortunately, competitors from Korea, although registered, have not come to the tournament, and I had a great desire to fight them,” said Mandic.

Her coach Dragan Jovic said he is more than satisfied with the result, which is “a great indicator of good preparation for the World Senior Championship that will be held this year in Mexico.”

“We registered new 10 points and moved on. Milica managed to win without conceding a point on tournament. We’re going back on Monday in Belgrade, and we will use the upcoming weekends do some training with some domestic team,” said Jovic.
