There were plenty of Israelis in Olympic action on Sunday as judokas, swimmers as well as gymnasts looked to ply their trade and work their way up to a podium finish in Paris.

In women’s Judo, Gefen Primo advanced to Repechage of the -52kg category but fell to Hungarian Reka Pupp via Ippon in just 46 seconds and was eliminated from medal contention. Gefen began the day wby defeating Yerin Jung from South Korea in her opening bout and then advances to quarterfinals by beating Binta Ndiaye from Switzerland.

However, Primo lost to Distria Krasniqi from Kosovo in the quarterfinals moved down to the Repechage bracket where she ultimately came up short against Pupp.

Primo, who was in tears, spoke about her showing minutes after being eliminated, “I haven’t had that much time to digest what happened. I started the bout well but there wasn’t much of a fight, she caught me and from there it was too late. The hole in my heart will never be filled, it’s hard, that’s not how I wanted to end the day. I’m sorry it ended like this. I want to send love to my family and thank you for all of the support and thank you to my club as well.”

Also on the Judo mat, Baruch Shmailov competing in the -66kg category, defeated Abderrahmane Boushita from Morocco who refused to shake the Sabra’s hand after the first bout. However, the opening bout win didn’t propel Shmailov to advance any further as he was eliminated in Round of 16 by Nurali Emomali from Tajikistan.

“There is no way I can explain what happened there in the last second of the bout,” Shamailov said. “I went into the hold and my opponent responded with a move but I was sure that I could pull him by the hand and drop him to the mat, but unfortunately I was the one who fell to the mat first. It’s sad and painful, especially when there are so many Israelis here that I heard in the stands. I fought for everyone and for my country, but unfortunately it was not enough.”

Monday will see Judokas Timna Nelson Levy and Tohar Butbol in action for the blue-and-white.
