Zolnir and Sraka Win Bronze at Judo Worlds

Slovenia's Urska Zolnir and Rasa Sraka have won bronze in their respective categories at the Judo World Championships in Cairo.

Zolnir, the bronze medalist from last year's Olympic Games, won the medal on Friday in the 63 kg category after she beat Canadian Marie Helen Chrisholm.
Meanwhile, Rasa Sraka defeated Germany's Anett Boehm in her bid for bronze in the 70 kg category, completing an extraordinary streak that she started earlier today with a win over two-time world champion Masae Uena of Japan in the first round.
The bronzes are the first Slovenian medals ever at Judo World Championships.
