Lady Gaga lookalike Julyana Al-Sadeq competed in the taekwondo women’s welterweight 57-67 kg event at Tokyo Olympics

Julyana Al-Sadeq from Jordan, who is competing in Tokyo Olympics, went viral on social media for a 'hilarious' reason. Sadeq competed in the taekwondo women’s welterweight 57-67 kg event against Milena Titoneli Guimaraes from Brazil on July 26. Her facial features eerily resemble that of Lady Gaga and that was enough for netizens to create a meme fest on the internet.

Sadeq, 26, is a Jordanian taekwondo athlete. She has won the gold medal at the 2018 Asian Games in the women's 67 kg weight category. Sadeq was knocked out of the women’s 67kg category in the round of 16 by Brazil’s Milena Titoneli.
