<p>Bilodid, now 21, won the 2018 World Championships at the age of 17, breaking the record for the youngest competitor, and then went on to win the following year&#8217;s World Championships, winning again. Her nickname is &#8220;Anaconda&#8221; because of her long arms and legs. She never lets go of her prey. She was a candidate for the gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics, but ended up with the bronze medal.</p>

<p>Rumors that Bilodido might change weight classes were reported immediately after the Tokyo Olympics, and there were reports that she was having trouble narrowing down her weight in the 48-kilogram weight class, and the height difference between her and Watanaki, who she fought in the Olympic semifinals, was a whopping 24 centimeters.</p>
<p>Villodido is also attracting worldwide attention for his good looks. He boasts excellent proportions due to his long arms and legs, which are his weapons, and his height, and in the past he was even invited by a modeling agency.</p>
<p>Her Instagram account shows that she has recently gained weight and has a much rounder face. Her image as an &#8220;anaconda&#8221; has faded and she has become very lovable.</p>
<p>Bilode has now taken refuge in Spain. This is because her home country, Ukraine, is under attack from Russia. She has been sending out daily messages on her Instagram asking for support for Ukraine, and has even asked for donations in Japanese to her Japanese fans.</p>
