Kazakhstan's team finished the second day of competition at the Judo Grand Prix in Zagreb, the Croatian capital, without a medal, the website infohub.kz reports.
Esmigul Kuyulova, competing in the under-63-kilogram weight class, produced Kazakhstan's best result on Saturday. She reached the quarterfinals, where she lost to Canada's Jessica Klimkait. Because the Canadian who beat her went on to reach the final, Kuyulova earned a place in the repechage round.
There she claimed another victory, but she lost the bronze-medal bout to Croatia's Iva Oberan and ultimately finished one step short of the podium.
Fellow Kazakh judoka Azhar Askhat (under 70 kilograms) exited the tournament after her very first match. On the men's side, Bakhytzhan Abdurakhmanov was eliminated in the round of 32 in the under-73-kilogram division, while Daniyar Shamshayev went out in the round of 16.
Kazakhstan's team still has three medals to its name: gold for Nurkanat Serikbayev (under 66 kilograms) and bronze for Galiya Tynbayeva (under 48 kilograms) and Aman Bakytzhan (under 60 kilograms).
