Israeli judoka Raz Hershko has won the silver medal in the Women’s over-78kg final at Paris 2024 after being defeated by Brazil’s Beatriz Souza.
The 26-year-old was unable to fight back after the Brazilian put her in a throw called a ‘Waza-ari’ early on in the match.
Hershko defeated Turkey’s Kayra Ozdemir in 15 seconds in the semifinal earlier on Friday, securing her spot in the final.
Hershko, 26, has been training since the age of four, and is the niece of the current Israeli judo head coach Shany Hershko.
