Israeli judoka Raz Hershko won a silver medal on Friday in the women’s over-78-kilogram judo competition, earning Israel its third judo medal of the Paris Olympics. This brings Israel’s all-time Olympic total to 16, with nine in judo.
Hershko’s victory follows Inbar Lanir’s silver in the women’s under-78-kilogram class and Peter Paltchik’s bronze in the men’s under-100kg category. She defeated judokas from Serbia and Turkey in the quarterfinal and semifinal but lost to Brazil in the finals.
