Lee scored the decisive “waza-ari,” or a half point, 48 seconds into the sudden-death extra period.

Lee, 22, shook off the disappointing loss and took down Casse with a bronze medal at stake. Less than a minute into the extra period, Lee 커뮤니티 finished off the Belgian with “ko-uchi-gari,” or small inner reap.
South Korea now has two silver medals in judo so far in Paris, with Huh Mimi having finished second in the women’s -57kg on Monday.

Kim, world No. 16, upset the top-ranked Joanne van Lieshout of the Netherlands in the round of 16, but lost her next two matches to miss out on a chance to compete for a medal.
