 Bilodid suffered a dramatic loss in the 1/8 finals and was eliminated from the 2024 Olympics

The Ukrainian judoka was disqualified during the fight.

Ukrainian judoka Daria Bilodid has ended her performance at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.

In the 1/8 finals, the 23-year-old Kiev resident suffered a defeat by Japanese Haruka Funakuba.

The Ukrainian earned three shido and was disqualified in extra time of an extremely tense fight.

It should be noted that Funakubo is a silver medalist of the last world championship.

Thus, Bilodid dropped out of the Olympics in Paris after her second fight. At the start, she defeated by ippon 15-year-old representative of Kiribati Neru Tibwa in 5 seconds.

Daria competed in the 2024 Olympics in the weight category up to 57 kg. Until 2022, she competed in the 48 kg weight class, where she won bronze at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

Recall that Ukraine is represented at the XXXIII Summer Olympics by 140 athletes competing in 23 sports. The Games in Paris will last until August 11. So far, our team has not won any medals.
