Great Britain’s reigning world champion Olivia Broome looks strong to take the gold on paper but the emergence of new stars at recent World Cups should kick off an exciting contest. Broome is also the Tokyo 2020 bronze medallist.
Esther Oyema of Nigeria (131kg) will be missing out.
Next up will be the men's up to 59kg final. China’s Qi Yongkai will be the man to beat in the category. He is the defending Paralympic and world champion. 
On the men's side, Mohamed El-Sayed stands out as a leading contender for victory. His journey through adversity has been inspirational; he overcame significant challenges to become one of Egypt's top athletes. El-Sayed's recent victories at continental championships have boosted his confidence and position among elite competitors. His technique and determination are expected to elevate his performance at this prestigious event.
