Judoka Raz Hershko on Saturday was ranked No.1 among senior female competitors by the International Judo Federation, a first for an Israeli in the sport.
The rankings are made up of 2,000 women aged 17 and over from more than 200 countries, and include all weight classes.
“It’s very flattering to me, even exciting, but it’s only a stop along the road,” Hershko, 25, said in response.
