Judo: winning comeback for Amandine Buchard at the Tashkent Grand Slam. After missing the Paris tournament at the beginning of February, the French judoka returned to competition in the best possible way.

In the final, the 28-year-old Frenchwoman was first surprised by the Uzbek Gulkhayo Juraeva, 59th in the world. She quickly equalized before bringing down her opponent just before the end of regulation time, scoring an ippon.
