It was another memorable day for Switzerland in the world of judo as history repeated itself with a 17th all-Swiss final at the senior level. In a showdown reminiscent of 2018, Binta Ndiaye faced off against Fabienne Kocher, with Kocher emerging victorious this time.

 The final was a closely contested affair, characterized by dynamic action and positive transitions from both athletes. Despite neither judoka relying on penalties to secure victory, Kocher's experience ultimately proved decisive. Switzerland celebrated the achievements of both athletes, with Kocher edging closer to Olympic qualification and Ndiaye making significant strides in her campaign.

Kocher showcased her prowess throughout the tournament, notching up impressive victories over Bayanmunkh, Puljiz, and Asvesta with her signature ura-nage technique. Meanwhile, Ndiaye, just 19 years old, added another medal to her collection, further bolstering her Olympic qualification prospects.

In the bronze medal contests, Borisova capitalized on a mistake from Ballhaus to secure victory, while Yerin Jung of Korea outmaneuvered Asvesta with a well-timed ko-uchi-gari to claim the bronze.

 

Overall, it was a day of triumph and progress for Swiss judo, with Kocher and Ndiaye's performances shining a spotlight on the country's judo prowess and Olympic aspirations.
