Israeli judoka Peter Paltchik loses to Azerbaijan’s Zelym Kotsoiev — who is ranked first in the world — in the quarterfinal in the men’s under-100kg weight class at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Paltchik will now move on to the repechage round this evening, where he will still have a shot at advancing to a bronze medal match.
Separately, Israel’s swimming team in the women’s 4x200m freestyle relay finishes 11th in the heats with a time of 7:55.99 and does not advance to the final.
