With two victories in the space of a few hours, Dora Gundura qualified for the sabre quarterfinals at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
After Canadian Pamela Brid’Amour in “32”, the Greek champion (no. 6 on the board) also defeated Frenchwoman Cecilia Berdet (no. 11) by 15-7 and advanced to the quarter-finals.
A blast from Gundura turned 3-3 into 8-3, giving him a clear advantage, competitively and psychologically.
The gap then widened (10-4, 13-6) and the Greek comfortably advanced to the “8”, where later (16:55) she will face another Frenchwoman, Manon Apiti-Brunet, 28 years old (No. 3 in the draw).
