Yamini Mourya Wins Silver in Judo 57kg Final

Yamini Mourya is a 28‑year‑old judo athlete from India.

She fought in the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow and reached the final in the 57‑kilogram weight class.

Her opponent was Acelya Toprak from England, who had a lot of experience.

The match was very close and no one scored a point during the regular time, so it went into a special extra period called golden score.

In that period, both fighters had already received two penalties.

When Yamini got a third penalty, the rules said she was disqualified, so Acelya won the gold medal and Yamini got the silver.

Even though she lost, Yamini still earned a medal and added to India’s success in judo.
