Mireia Lapuerta wins the gold in the U-21 European Cup played in Prague

This weekend has been held in Prague U-21 European Championship, and Mireia Lapuerta (-48 Kg) was intractable in each of its outputs to the tatami of the Central European nation.

Mireia beat the Belgian Verstraeten in the first round for Ippón. In the second round it took barely 8 seconds to defeat the Azeri Aliyeva, which advanced to the semifinal. Already in this instance, 16 seconds were enough to give a new Ippón, in this case the English Bobrowska.

In the dispute of the title against the Belgian Lois Petit, European Champion and world bronze medalist U-21 in the lower category (-44 Kg), Mireia imposed her class with a new Ippón that gave her the first gold in this international season and shows that his recovery from knee injury is already a fact and that we must count on her for the big international appointments that remain in this 2019.
