European champion in 2016, the Swiss fighter won again gold in Novi Sad on Saturday by dominating the naturalized Azerbaijan’ Zaretska, 1-0. She waited for the very last seconds of the fight to punch her opponent. A great art !

"It's a very, very, very good feeling. It feels good in my heart. In the final, it was difficult. I waited until the end because we know each other very well. But I knew that if I did my Karate, it would be OK. I had nothing to lose, I just wanted to have fun and please all the people who support me (note : she should be forfeited for these European Championships due to a foot operation last February). I had to be patient. Zaretska is strong and there was no place for a mistake. But even if there were only 3 seconds left, I did not think about it. I only felt that was the moment and it worked. So "never give up" (she laughs) ».
