Amit Elor-

Elor was one of the biggest questions heading into the World Championships with whether or not she could replicate the age level success on the senior level. Coming off a junior world title she shut those doubts down pretty quick and is into the world finals at 72kg. She will face Kazakhstan’s Zhamila Bakbergenova in the finals.
