The World Games 2025 are taking place in Chengdu, China from August 7 to 17.

Famous athlete from Odesa, Angelika Terlyuga, earned a silver medal in the karate competition (55 kg category), reaffirming her position as one of the strongest karate practitioners globally.

This was her second competition since giving birth, and in the semifinals, she faced Chinese competitor Yuchun Wei.

The initial score was 1:9 in favor of the Chinese athlete, but after a protest, the final score was adjusted to 4:3 in favor of Terlyuga.

Thus, Angelika advanced to the finals where she competed against German athlete Mia Bitsch. Unfortunately, she lost the final match 3-1, securing the silver medal.

Angelika is coached by her husband, the honored coach of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zaretsky.
