Judo
Tunisia had never won any martial arts medal in the Olympics, but came very close to their first in the women's Heavyweight class, as Insaf Yahyaoui beat two South American judokas to reach the bronze medal match, but could only last a minute-and-a-half before losing. The overall record for Tunisian judkoas in Athens was 4-6.
