“This [Israeli team] is one of the best [Judo] teams in Europe. We will continue this way and the sky is the limit,” said Moshe Ponte, the chairman of the Israeli Judo Federation, as translated from the Hebrew edition of Yedioth Ahronoth.
“Today Baruch proves that he belongs at the very top of European Judo,” said the Israeli Judo team’s coach, Oren Smadja.
