Mlada Kninjanka Matea Jelić nastavila je čudesan niz u kojem dvije godine nije izgubila borbu. Prvo je osvojila zlatnu medalju na olimpijskim kvalifikacijama mladih te izborila odlazak na Olimpijske igre mladih koje će se održati od 17. do 21. kolovoza.
Dominaciju je nastavila na Tajvanu gdje je i proglašena najboljom juniorkom svijeta.
Ivana Babić također je pomela svoje protivnice na putu do juniorskog zlata. Članica splitskog Marjana nanizala je šest pobjeda i slavila uz bodovnu razliku 84-16.
Hrvatska ženska juniorska reprezentacija osvojila je drugo mjesto u ukupnom poretku. Bolje su samo Britanke koje uz dva zlata imaju i dvije brončane medalje...
