In the D series bout, the Mozambican judoka faced many difficulties against the Israeli, ranked eighth best in this category. Looking to decide the issue in the early stages, Shmailov came in strong and scored against his Mozambican opponent within 15 seconds.<\/p>\n

Loforte\u2019s resistance lasted 1 minute and 46 seconds, and with 2 minutes and 14 seconds to go, Shmailov succeeded in defeating the Mozambican by ippon, which gave him 11 points.<\/p>\n

The 24-year-old Mozambican arrived at the Olympics thanks to coming third in the Dakar 2021 African Championship, placing him 67th in the world with 809 points. He therefore benefited from the International Judo Federation\u2019s Continental Quota. His preparations for the Olympics were thrown off by an injury which only resolved itself shortly before the start of the competition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
