The Israeli national judo team experienced a double disappointment at the World Championships in Baku, failing to secure another podium finish after a successful outing the previous day.
The competitor, competing in the under-90kg category, was eliminated in the first round. The competitor initially led his match against Germany's Eduard Trippel with a 'waza-ari' but conceded two 'yuko' scores and another 'waza-ari' himself near the end, resulting in his loss.
Following the competitor's early exit, Maia Gushun, in the under-70kg division, also saw her tournament end after her first match. Gushun was defeated by Georgia's Nino Gulbani, concluding her participation in the championships.
These results contrasted with the previous day's success, where Karem Primov achieved a significant result for the Israeli team, raising hopes for further medal contention.
