Kaïla Issoufi has reached the final in her very first Judo World Championships. The 25-year-old Frenchwoman defeated world No. 1 Monta Olek of Germany in the semifinal of the up-to-78-kilogram class on Friday (October 9) in Baku — with the last score of the bout, "sur le gong" in French. Issoufi is thus the first athlete with the eagle on her judogi to reach a final at these championships.
Final showdown against Lytvynenko from the Emirates
In the final on Saturday, she will face a fighter from the United Arab Emirates: Lytvynenko, who had already thrown Frenchwoman Audrey Tcheuméo out of the tournament in the round of 16. For Issoufi, the 25-year-old from France, it is her very first World Championships — and suddenly she is in the gold-medal final.
Upset against the German No. 1
The semifinal victory over Olek was the biggest upset of the day from a French perspective. The German, sitting atop the world rankings, appeared to have the bout locked up before Issoufi landed the decisive score in the final moment. Both sources, L'Équipe and Ouest-France, independently confirm the Frenchwoman's run to the final.
