The match extended into extra time, where Daria was disqualified after receiving her third shido [The shido is called when a rule violation occurs during a judo contest – ed.].

As a result, Bilodid, the Ukrainian bronze medallist from the 2020 Olympics, was knocked out of medal contention at the Paris Games.

Background: Bilodid defeated 15-year-old Kiribati representative Neri Tibwa in 5 seconds with an ippon throw in the round of 32.
