Primo will next face Kosovo’s Distria Krasniqi — who won the gold in Tokyo in 2021 — in the quarterfinal later today, to battle for a spot in the semifinal for a shot at a medal.
Israel’s Baruch Shmailov loses his second match to Tajikistan’s Nurali Emomali, failing to advance to the quarterfinal and ending his individual Olympic run.
