Muki will next up face South Korea’s Lee Joon-hwan.
Earlier, Palestinian judoka Fares Badawi, who was born in Syria and is one of the Palestinian Olympic Committee’s eight athletes in Paris, lost his initial match to Tajikistan’s Somon Makhmadbekov, ending his Olympic run.
Over in the pool, Israeli swimmer Tomer Frankel comes second in his heat in the men’s 100m freestyle but 21st overall, not advancing to the semifinal.
