Although disappointed at narrowly missing out on gold, Kristina has shown a massive amount of grit and determination in getting to the British Championships with only six weeks of full training following a nasty dislocated and fractured elbow injury.

Kristina, a member of Chichester based club TNJC, has had her place on the 2016 England Pre-Cadet Judo Squad confirmed.
