Israeli judoka Karem Primo secured a silver medal at the World Championships in Baku, Azerbaijan, bringing honor to her country on the anniversary of the October 7th events. Primo lost in the final to the world's top-ranked judoka, Haruka Kage of Japan, who has never lost a senior bout. Despite the loss, Primo's impressive performance earned her a significant financial reward.
Primo received $1,400 from the International Judo Federation and an additional NIS 50,000 from the Israeli Ministry of Sport's incentive program. In total, she earned NIS 54,300 (approximately $14,300 USD) for her achievement.
