After a first alert coming from the Austrian side and a waza-ari that was eventually cancelled, it was Sinem Oruc who won the title with a powerful o-uchi-gari, fantastically executed. The gold medal went to Sinem Oruc and Türkiye. Didn't we say that Türkiye was building momentum? This is the proof of it. Türkiye is in orbit.
Lenka Tomankova (SVK) and Sagda Ghonim (EGY) qualified to fight for the first bronze medal. Tomankova tried a couple of attacks, just to feel her opponent out. The last attack was then tremendous; a massive uchi-mata and the match was over. It was a beautiful ippon and a bronze medal for Tomankova.
In the second match for a bronze medal it was Khurshida Razzokberdieva (UZB) who faced Emily Starzer (AUT). The match was as fast as the previous one, Khurshida Razzokberdieva scoring a massive ippon with a tani-otoshi.
