Israel experienced a double disappointment at the World Judo Championships in Baku, with both Roy Simon (under 90 kg) and Maya Goshen (under 70 kg) being eliminated in the first round. The Israeli judo team had hoped to build on Karem Primov's success from the previous day and secure another podium finish, but their aspirations were cut short.
Roy Simon's match against Germany's Eduard Trippel saw him initially leading with a waza-ari. However, Trippel managed to score two yuko and a waza-ari of his own in the closing moments, securing the victory and eliminating Simon from the competition.
Shortly after, Maya Goshen faced Nino Gulbani of Georgia in her opening match. Goshen was defeated by Gulbani, marking the end of her participation in the tournament.
These early exits contrast with the team's earlier hopes for success, following a significant achievement by Karem Primov on Wednesday.
