IJF World Judo Tour revelation Daria Bilodid (UKR) has won three out of three events this year and is the most talked about teenager in the sport.
After winning the Düsseldorf Grand Slam - which followed earlier victories at the Paris Grand Slam and Tunis Grand Prix in 2018 - the Ukrainian sensation spoke to the IJF about her blossoming career and life outside of judo.
Bilodid, who has only once left a competition without a medal (Budapest Worlds 2017), is an early favourite for the 2018 Worlds in Baku and has been one of the stories of the year so far.
