فَازَتْ لَاعِبَةُ الْكَرَاتِيهِ الْفِلَسْطِينِيَّةُ مَرْيَمُ بِشَارَاتُ بِالْمِيدَالِيَّةِ الذَّهَبِيَّةِ فِي بُطُولَةِ الْعَالَمِ لِلْنَّاشِئِينَ وَالشَّبَابِ وَتَحْتَ سِنِّ الْحَادِيَةِ وَالْعِشْرِينَ. وَأُقِيمَتِ الْبُطُولَةُ فِي مَدِينَةِ بِيِلْسْكُو-بْيَاوَا فِي بُولَنْدَا. وَفِي الْمُبَارَاةِ النِّهَائِيَّةِ، تَغَلَّبَتْ عَلَى اللَّاعِبَةِ الْإِسْبَانِيَّةِ نُوَا لُوبِيز غُونْزَالِيس بِثَلَاثِ نِقَاطٍ مُقَابِلَ نُقْطَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ.

كَانَتِ الْمُبَارَاةُ فِي الْكُومِيتِيهِ، وَهُوَ نَوْعٌ مِنَ الْكَرَاتِيهِ يَتَنَافَسُ فِيهِ اللَّاعِبُونَ وَيَجْمَعُونَ النِّقَاطَ. وَشَارَكَتْ بِشَارَاتُ فِي فِئَةِ وَزْنِ أَقَلَّ مِنْ سِتَّةٍ وَسِتِّينَ كِيلُوغْرَامًا. وَقَبْلَ النِّهَائِيِّ، فَازَتْ عَلَى مُنَافِسَةٍ يَابَانِيَّةٍ، ثُمَّ تَأَهَّلَتْ إِلَى مُبَارَاةِ الذَّهَبِ.

بِهٰذَا الْفَوْزِ، حَافَظَتْ بِشَارَاتُ عَلَى لَقَبِهَا الْعَالَمِيِّ الَّذِي فَازَتْ بِهِ فِي الْبُطُولَةِ السَّابِقَةِ. وَتَتَصَدَّرُ أَيْضًا تَصْنِيفَ الْاِتِّحَادِ الدَّوْلِيِّ لِلْكَرَاتِيهِ فِي فِئَةِ الشَّابَّاتِ لِلْوَزْنِ نَفْسِهِ. وَسَبَقَ لَهَا أَنْ حَقَّقَتْ نَتَائِجَ جَيِّدَةً فِي بُطُولَاتٍ عَالَمِيَّةٍ وَآسِيَوِيَّةٍ وَمُنَافَسَاتِ دَوْرِيِّ الشَّبَابِ. وَتُضِيفُ هٰذِهِ النَّتِيجَةُ إِنْجَازًا جَدِيدًا إِلَى مَسِيرَتِهَا الرِّيَاضِيَّةِ.
