Israeli judoka Karem Primu, 21, has reached the final of the World Judo Championship, guaranteeing herself at least a silver medal. This marks the biggest achievement of her career to date. Primu's path to the final included a dramatic comeback in the round of 16, where she was close to elimination but ultimately won due to penalties against her opponent. She also defeated the world number two ranked judoka. In her opening match, Primu faced Carlotta Avanzato of Italy, a bronze medalist at the recent European Championships. She then advanced to face Poland's Angelika Szymanska, ranked seventh in the world and the 2024 World Championship runner-up. Szymanska took a significant lead, but Primu secured the win after Szymanska received her third penalty. In the quarterfinals, Primu competed against Mongolia's Ankhzaya Battsogt, ranked second globally and a two-time World Championship bronze medalist. Primu took an early lead and maintained it to secure her place in the semifinals. Her performance on October 7th is noted as particularly emotional given the date.
