GRAND SLAM OF TBILISI 2024 – To conclude the competition, new medal with the silver won by Coralie Haymé.
Coralie Hayme (+78 kg) defeated Moira Morillo with a waza-ari. She then beat Sophio Somkhishvili on hansoku-make. In the quarterfinals, she faced Shiyan Xu. The Frenchwoman tried a lot to sweep her away without success. Before winning the golden score with a massive ippon. In a closed fight in the semi-finals against Idalys Ortiz where both were penalized twice, the Frenchwoman managed to immobilize the Cuban. Ex-Olympic champion (2012) and double world champion please.
In the final, she faced Renee Lucht for the first time. The two judokas took time to decide between themselves. While the Frenchwoman seemed to have gained the upper hand with two good attacks, she was finally immobilized by the German. Coralie Haymé therefore wins the silver medal.
At 23, the young Frenchwoman won her third Grand Slam medal. The first in silver after two in bronze. Like Léa Fontaine (22 years old), she is starting to make her mark in this category.
