Israeli taekwondo fighter Avishag Semberg, who won a bronze medal at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, was eliminated from the Olympic Games in Paris on Wednesday after failing to qualify for the repechage bracket.
Semberg was defeated by Saudi fighter Dunya Ali Abutaleb in the round of 16, who was subsequently eliminated from the tournament. In this sport's tournament format, athletes who are defeated advance to the repechage only if their opponent reaches the final. As a result, Semberg will not replicate her previous Olympic achievement.
