Raz Hershko (ISR) produced a real performance by defeating Lea Fontaine, much taller and heavier than her, in the final of the women's heavyweight division at the Grand Slam in Paris. In a really tactical match, Hershko followed to the word the advice of her coach and finally took the gold medal after Fontaine was penalised for the third time.
The second reason for Raz Hershko to be happy was that all the other medallists were French. Under such dominance from one country, the results of the Israeli competitor is even more significant.
Raz Hershko said, “She was much taller and heavier than me but you know I chose this category knowing that many judoka will be like this. I fight with my skills and never give up.”
Coralie Hayme (FRA), who won the junior world title a week ago in Olbia, Italy, this time stepped on the podium with a bronze medal, while the second bronze medal went to Julia Tolofua (FRA).
