Israeli judoka Gili Sharir loses her first match to France’s Clarisse Agbegnenou — who won the gold medal in Tokyo — in the women’s under-63kg weight class, ending her individual run at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
“I do feel like I gave it my all, but a good match isn’t enough,” Sharir tells Israel’s Sport5 channel minutes after the match.
Fellow Israeli judoka Sagi Muki is up soon in the men’s under-81kg weight class.
