Israeli judoka Pollack knocked out in shock upset

Israeli judoka Golan Pollack has been eliminated just over a minute into his opening match against Zambian Mathews Punza, in a massive upset.

Punza managed to get the heavily favored Pollack on the floor and hold him there, clinching the requisite 100 points and moving to the next round.

The loss for Pollack continues Israel’s poor showing thus far in the Rio Games.
