Houdini Emma Reid wants to succeed Sally Conway with an Olympic medal
At the recent 2024 Abu Dhabi World Championships, Emma Reid (GBR) was thrown and held down by former World Champion Audrey Tcheumeo in the opening seconds. But at around 9 seconds, she managed to counter Tcheumeo and impose her own pin, which lasted long enough to Reid the bronze medal. Eight years ago, at the 2016 Rio Olympics, Sally Conway was caught on the ground by Gevrise Emane, a former World Champion from France. After being pinned for a few seconds, Conway managed to counter Emane and pin her for the full ippon.
