Judo: Mixed team round of 16 underway
Over at Champ-de-Mars arena, we’ve got round of 16 bouts ongoing in the mixed team event in judo.
Israel and Serbia have progressed already, while Spain, who won their match against the Refugee Olympic Team earlier this morning, are now taking on Tokyo 2020 silver medallists Japan.
Once the Italy v Hungary match is finished on mat 2, it will be time for the defending Olympic champions France to take to the stage. This follows on from a magical night where Teddy Riner (FRA) became the most decorated Olympic judoka in history with six medals overall, including four golds. Riner will look to add another gold to his collection as part of France’s mixed team.
