Exempted from the 1st round in the under 52 kg category, Fabienne Kocher (29) was beaten on Ippon by Kazakh outsider Gauchar Irmagambetova, 76th in the world. The fight only lasted 18 seconds…
The Vaudoise Binta Ndiaye, also in the running in the under 52 kg category, and Freddy Waizenegger (under 66 kg) were also eliminated in the second round on Friday. But both had won their first fight, for their first appearance in the elite Worlds.
