The final opposed Luise MALZAHN (GER) and Natalie POWELL (GBR), but due to an injury, Powell could not compete and the German added one more gold medal to the German team.
In the absence of the top athletes of the category, and among the twelve participants in the women’s -78kg, the favorite was winner of the Düsseldorf Grand Prix and the world number seven, Luise MALZAHN from Germany, who without surprise reached the final after having defeated Sviatlana TSIMASHENKA (BLR)and Kaouthar OUALLAL (ALG) both by ippon. In the second half of the draw, Natalie POWELL (GBR), bronze medallist in Düsseldorf, was the second best seeded athlete. At the first round she eliminated the French judoka Sama Hawa CAMARA and then Ivana MARANIC (CRO) in the semifinal.
The bronze medal fight opposed Sviatlana TSIMASHENKA (BLR) and Ivana MARANIC (CRO) and after the four minute fight, only penalties differentiated the two athletes, MARANIC winning the bronze.
The second bronze medal fight opposed Sama Hawa CAMARA (FRA) and Kaouthar OUALLAL (ALG). After 15 seconds, OUALLAL was penalized with a first shido for cross-grip, followed by an other penalty for both athletes. Thirty seconds before the end of the fight, CAMARA executed a last-gasp ko-soto-gake for waza-ari, followed by an immobilisation for ippon. The 19-year-old French athlete won her first medal at that level of competition.
