She was at home and she did not disappoint her fans! The second day of the Agadir Grand Prix ended with the victory of Assmaa Niang who, in front of her public, won a magnificent gold medal, full of authority and emotion. If Assmaa was among the favourites on the morning of the big day, she found in the final Maria PEREZ (PUR), the vice-world champion of Budapest 2018, a reference in the category. It took only a handful of seconds for the fate of this long-awaited final to be sealed, since the athletes from Puerto Rico made an error which made here penalised with a Hansokumake (direct disqualification). Assmaa, 35, could let her joy burst out and enter into communion with the audience, who was waiting for her champion on the top of the podium.
