The French Walide Khyar offered the first world medal of his career by going for the bronze of -66 kg Monday at the World Judo Championships in Doha.
Khyar, 27, defeated South Korean An Baul in the bronze medal match by waza-ari.
During the day, the French had climbed to the semi-finals in a convincing manner, before losing against the Olympic champion of Tokyo, the formidable Japanese Hifumi Abe.
A little earlier, Amandine Buchard had also gone for bronze in -52 kg. This is the third medal for France since the start of these Worlds on Sunday.
