As top-seeded, Babulfath stood over the first round and advanced to the round of 16. There, the 48-kilo judoka faced the Spanish Eva Pérez Soler.
The Swede didn't get it together and was warned twice. The match went to a so-called golden score. There, both received a warning and Babulfath was disqualified.
She tells SVT that she doesn't want to comment on the match until she's reviewed it herself.
The warm-up felt super good and I had a good feeling before, but it's sports and shit happens, she says.
It wasn't the European Championship I was supposed to peak at, so I'm heavily trained, but it's just to keep going and train even harder.
