At just 14, the young Moroccan continues her rapid rise on the international stage, adding another title to an already impressive record and reinforcing her status as one of Morocco’s promising young kickboxing talents.
Her run was far from straightforward, however. Last-minute schedule changes, repeatedly postponed fight times and long hours of waiting before the final tested her mental preparation as well as her physical endurance.
“It wasn’t my best fight, but I showed that I could stay focused and find a solution when things get difficult,” the Moroccan champion said after winning the title.
Far from being satisfied with the victory, Tesoudali sees the success as another step in her development. “I’m very happy to bring this gold medal home, but I know I can do better. This victory motivates me to keep improving and work even harder,” she said.
