After the World Judo Championships closed in Doha, which was the best in Israel's history, the new world rankings were published on Monday.
Raz Hershko, who won the bronze medal in the weight category over 78 kg, managed to move up one place and occupies the top of the world rankings, while also being in first place in the Olympic rankings, all this a little over a year before the Paris 2024 Games.
The new world champion Inbar Lanir (up to 78 kg), who endured a perfect day of fights, all of which she won with impressive turnovers, jumped four places in the rankings, and is in third place in the world and also ranked in this place in the Olympic rankings.

Peter Palczyk, competing in the under-100kg category, who was the third member of the team to stand on the podium in the delegation when he managed to win the bronze medal, also moved up one place, ranking sixth in the world and fifth in the rankings for the upcoming Olympics.
Sixth in the world is also Baruch Shmailov (66kg), although he had a less successful competition, but he still manages to maintain his position, being just like seven Israelis, who are inside the top eight, and will win a more comfortable draw in Paris if they keep their place in the closing lists.
One person who can still leave satisfied with the last championship is Sagi Muki (up to 81 kg), who was stopped only in the bronze-medal battle. Mookie moved up 3 places, to the top 13 in the world and <>th in the Olympics.

By the way, if you thought the team would rest on its laurels, then the situation is really not like that. Many of the members of the delegation will return to the tour in ten days at the Austrian Grand Prix, followed by the Mongolian Grand Slam next month.
