giuseppina macrì -lrb- born september 3 , 1974 in crotone -rrb- is an italian judoka , who competed in the women 's extra-lightweight category .
she held five italian senior titles in her own division , picked up a total of twenty-five medals in her career , including three from the european championships , two from the mediterranean games -lrb- 1997 and 2001 -rrb- , and a coveted bronze from the 2001 world judo championships in munich , germany , and represented her nation italy at the 2004 summer olympics .
macri also trained for judo club facente cutro in the outskirts of her native crotone under head coach and sensei oscar facente .
macri emerged herself into the international scene and reached the pinnacle of her judo career at the 2001 mediterranean games in tunis , tunisia , where she picked up a silver medal in the 48-kg division , losing the final match to turkish judoka and later two-time olympian neşe Şensoy yıldız .
a few months later , macri edged poland 's anna Żemła-krajewska off the tatami by an ippon victory to notch a bronze at the world championships in munich , germany , and then until 2003 , she boosted three more with the similar color in her respective category at the european championships .
at the 2004 summer olympics in athens , macri qualified for the italian judo squad in the women 's extra-lightweight class -lrb- 48 kg -rrb- , by topping the field and receiving a berth from the super a-tournament in moscow , russia .
she received a bye in the opening round , but succumbed to an ippon score and a yoko shiho gatame -lrb- side four-quarter -rrb- hold from china 's gao feng with nearly a minute remaining in their second round match .
