Wakaba Tomita gives Japan seventh gold in Mongolia
The hierarchy was perfectly respected in the +78kg category of the Grand Slam in Ulaanbaatar, since the four best athletes in the category were still in the running for the semi-finals. At the top of the draw sheet, we found the world number one and recent bronze medallist of the world championships, Raz Hershko (ISR). After a first round concluded with penalties, she scored two waza-ari against Hyeonji Lee (KOR) before facing the Mongolian judoka Adiyasuren Amarsaikhan (MGL). The latter could do nothing against Hershko who logically qualified for the final.
