Sierra Leone’s historic debut at the Paris 2024 Olympics was marred by a defeat for 17-year-old judo competitor Mariama Koroma.
In a match that lasted just 1 minute and 6 seconds, Koroma faced off against 36-year-old Taiwanese veteran Lien Chen-ling in the ’57 kg Women’s Elimination Round of 16.
Despite a strong effort, Koroma was unable to overcome the experienced Chen-ling, marking a tough start for Sierra Leone’s Olympic campaign.
The bout, which had generated significant interest due to the age gap between the competitors, ended with Chen-ling emerging victorious.
