Team GB's Kelly Edwards falls to late Larisa Florian charge

By , Reporter
Team GB judoka Kelly Edwards is beaten by a late comeback charge from Larisa Florian of Romania in the round of 16 in the women's -52kg event at the European Games.

Team GB's Kelly Edwards has been knocked out of the women's -52kg judo contest at the European Games after a late rally from Larisa Florian in the round of 16.

The Romanian had to come from behind after the Commonwealth Games silver medallist held her for a waza-ari with less than a minute remaining.

Edwards found herself conceding a waza-ari a few moments later though, before her opponent was handed an ippon to stop the contest with 15 seconds remaining.

Florian's comeback sets up a meeting with Russian Federation's Natalia Kuziutina in the quarter-finals.
