Full of emotion, on the verge of tears, Natalia Matrella said at the end of her fight that “so many years of training were worth it.”
In the Walterweight Women’s Senior Combat final, Natalia defeated North American Caroline Kotowski. “She knew that she was a difficult competitor, she had already faced her in Argentina and she was afraid of not being able to make it,” explained the world champion.
In this way, she was left with her second gold medal on the first day of the ITF World Championship 2022 in the Netherlands. In the morning she was crowned Champion in Senior Forms IV dan.
Always very happy and excited, Natalia Matrella remembered everyone who helped her get to that moment, especially her daughter and her partner.
