Daughter of a French-Moroccan mother and a Senegalese father, Asma Niang is a four-time champion of Africa judoka. Last week, she won a bronze medal at the Croatia's annual Judo Grand Prix at the Zagreb Arena.
Hosted by Agadir, the Judo Grand Prix was attended by an Israeli delegation. This participation caused controversy as the Israeli Hatikva was played when the Israeli athletes received their medals.
