July 8, 2022 will sound like the last coronation and the end of the Sandra Jaime Sanchez era. Olympic champion, double world champion, 7 times European champion, the Spaniard bows out on a last title. Like Sanchez, Terliuga assumes her favorite status and wins the World Games in -55 kg. In the other categories, there were many surprises: Tsukii (-50 kg), Figueira (-67 kg), Anis (-60 kg) and Moto (Kata) leave with gold.
