19-year-old Umida Omonova (2211) became the player with the lowest rating in World Cup history and advanced to the 1/8 finals!

Our representative, who ranks 64th in the world ranking among girls (as of July), defeated strong opponents in the first three rounds:

 Sophie Mille (2355)

Alina Kashlinskaya (2462)

Elnaz Kaliakhmet (2306)

Now Umida will compete in the 1/8 finals against the tournament's rating favorite - Lei Tingjie (2557)!

We support and are proud of you, Umida!
