The feat is remarkable as Babulfath is only 18 years old and belongs to the junior class.
In the semifinals, the Swede gave world number one Assunta Scutto a real match. Babulfath was a second away from equalizing when the Italian broke free from a hold.
In the bronze match against the Portuguese Catarina Costa, Babulfath scored a hold with a minute left and was able to secure the bronze.
Thereby, the Swede has also secured an Olympic place in Paris via the ranking. However, it is SOK that gives the go-ahead for participation in Paris.
The last time a Swede won a medal at a judo World Cup was when Elisabeth Karlsson won a silver 38 years ago.
