Andreja Leski enjoyed the five contests and continues the legacy of Slovenia
Andreja Leski of Slovenia became the Olympic champion, continuing the incredible legacy of Slovenian women in judo. She is the third Slovenian woman to win the title in the last four Olympic cycles, following Urska Zolnir in 2012 and Tina Trstenjak in 2016. In the final, Leski faced Prisca Awiti-Alcaraz of Mexico. The Mexican started strong, scoring a waza-ari with her lightning-fast tomoe-nage, but Leski leveled up, eventually throwing Awiti-Alcaraz for waza-ari and securing the win with a second score.
