Israeli judoka Maya Goshen beats Turkey’s Fidan Ögel in her first match in the women’s under-70kg weight class at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Ögel seems to first walk off the mat without shaking hands with Goshen, but the Israeli approaches her and the pair shake hands following their match.
Goshen, making her Olympic debut in Paris, will next face France’s Marie-Ève Gahié in the round of 16.
