Beyond the clear victory of Inamori Nami (JPN), who defeated the current Olympic champion Idalys Ortiz (CUB) by ippon with an immobilisation, the history books will remember that this final was the last one for Mr. Ronaldo Veitia as a coach of the Cuban team. Thus if Idalys Ortiz couldn’t offer that last victory to the man who brought her to the top of the Olympics, she gave a long hug to her coach while stepping off the tatami.
Tomita Wakaba (JPN) and Iryna Kindzerska (UKR) faced off for a place on the podium. Until the last minute nothing was written on the scoreboard as both athletes seemed incable of finding the smallest opportunity to score but nothing could stop Kindzerska when she launched a powerful left-handed o-soto-gari for ippon.
The second bronze medal fight saw the victory of the winner of the 2015 Paris Grand Slam, Emilie Andeol (FRA) due to an injury of her teammate Marine Erb (FRA), earlier during the day.
