Eighteen-year-old sensation Bilodid may look like she should be strutting on the catwalk, but the stunning youngster is more at home flipping opponents on the tatami, ruthlessly seeing off home favorite Funa Tonaki in the women’s 48kg final at Nippon Budokan in Tokyo on Sunday. 

The dainty Kiev native’s killer moves saw her capture her second world title at the 2019 World Judo Championships - thus etching her name into the sports history books as the first judoka to win two consecutive world titles in an individual event before turning 19.

Bilodid defended the title she won last year in Baku, Azerbaijan, setting another record by becoming the youngest ever judoka to win the title - aged just 17.
