Emane first gained attention at the 2005 World Judo Championships in Cairo, Egypt where she won the silver medal in the women's 70 kg class.[2] Next year, Emane won her first European title at the 2006 European Judo Championships in Tampere after a ippon in the final, against the German Heide Wollert.[3]
