2016 Olympic bronze medallist Ekaterina Bukina bagged the gold medal in 76kg at the Russian Championships held in AK Bars Martial Arts Palace, Kazan. Representing the Moscow region, she defeated Angela Kataevea of North Ossetia-Alania 10-0. The national championship also marked the comeback for Rio Games silver medallist Valeria Koblova. Competing in the 59kg, she beat Svetlana Lipatova of Tatarstan 4-1 to win the title. This was her first competition in the last three years.
In August 2017, at the World Championships in Paris, the athlete received a severe leg injury, a cruciate ligament rupture, and then underwent surgery. In early September 2019, Koblova’s daughter Floriana was born.
The winners will be participating at the December-bound world championships in Belgrade (Serbia).
