The Slovenian held her own against four-time world champion Clarisse Agbegnenou in the grand final, until the French competitor scored a waza-ari one minute before the end, before ending the duel with a final pinning.
Leški, fifth in the world rankings, already won bronze at the European Championship in Lisbon earlier this year.
