This qualification comes to raise hopes again that Algeria will win a medal in the Tokyo Olympics, in light of the successive disappointments of Algerian athletes in various competitions.
Meanwhile, boxer Iman Khalif was eliminated in the quarter-finals after losing to Ireland’s Kelly Ann Harrington 5-0, in the weight between 57 and 60 kg.
Algerian wrestler Abdelmalek Merabet was eliminated from the 67kg qualifiers after losing 8-0 to Korean Hansoo Ryo.
Although Algerian wrestler Bashir Sayed Azara qualified for the quarter-finals after beating his Chinese opponent 11-1 in the final price round, he was eliminated today against Ukrainian Plinyuk Zahan.
