Judo in the time of Covid-19: Shirine Boukli
Shirine Boukli of France, a relative unknown until 2020, gave double World Champion Daria Bilodid the shock of her life in the 2020 Paris Grand Slam semifinal where she took the Ukrainian all the way to Golden Score and very nearly defeated her. In the 2020 Dusseldorf Grand Slam she met Funa Tonaki, another World Champion, in the final and this time she emerged the victor. French judo has a new rising star. JudoCrazy’s Oon Yeoh interviewed her.
