First medal for the German Judo Federation at these Worlds — and it shines bronze: Giovanna Scoccimarro struck in Baku, securing Germany's first medal of these World Championships. In the bronze medal match, she defeated Brazilian Nauana Silva.

Azerbaijan's capital is hosting the title fights. For the German team, Scoccimarro's victory ends a phase in which no podium finish came out of the previous competition days.

The decisive fight for bronze

The bronze medal match at the Judo World Championships is the contest for third place — bronze is the reward. That's where Scoccimarro faced Nauana Silva of Brazil and came out on top. That puts the medal the DJB takes home from Baku on the board at the end of the day.
