Grand Slam judo is back in Tel Aviv - and on the opening day, it was the sport’s rising stars who made the biggest impact.
France’s Shirine Boukli took on Ukraine’s double world champion Daria Bilodid in the -48kg final.
This match was just about feeling Shirine Boukli -48kg gold
A throw for ippon gave her victory and our woman of the day award. Event co-host Sylvan Adams presented her with her gold.
“This match was just about feeling,” she said afterwards. “It’s about feeling good. I don’t remember what I did, or when I did it. I just feel it and now it’s finished and I won by Ippon!”
