Shemesh - the competitor in the weight category up to 63 kg - competed in the final stage against the veteran Brazilian (34) Catalin Quadros, a bronze medalist from the 2008 Beijing Olympics, ranked sixth in the world, when she absorbed from the Israeli Vasari 53 seconds to finish.

Earlier, Sun defeated rivals France and the Netherlands and in the semi-finals, overtook Tamirs Cordis - also from Brazil - in an impressive iPhone while hugging.

It is important to note that the Israeli delegation to the competition was sparse, with the women taking off for the last day to a training camp and the men only recently returning from their own camp.

All seniors will take part in the Mongolia Grand Slam at the end of the month.

The next competition is in fact also the official jump shot towards the Paris Olympics 2024. From there the counting of the scores for the world rankings will begin, from which the athletes will emerge for the Olympics.
