Worlds Budapest: Worlds: it’s already over for Alpha Djalo (-81kg)

On the carpet number 1 of the László Papp Sportaréna, Clarisse Agbegnenou (-63kg) successfully entered the competition in these Worlds in Budapest. The reigning world champion quietly dismissed Dane Laerke Marie Olsen on her first lap. It starts well for the Frenchwoman in the Hungarian capital.

For Alpha Djalo (-81kg), it’s already over. The French judoka had nevertheless started his fight well by taking the advantage by scoring waza-ari entry. But the South Korean, two minutes from the end of the fight, turned the tide and immobilized the French to finally win by ippon. To participate in the Olympic Games, Alpha Djalo had to at least qualify for the final of the Budapest Worlds. It is unfortunately missed. “I need to breathe, to take time to start again on another cycle. But here it’s hard to project yourself. I’ll take some time for myself. There is a dream that goes away, even two“Said the judoka after his elimination, according to statements collected by AFP.
