World silver medallist Yoshida Tsukasa (JPN) led an all-Japanese quartet onto the U57kg medal podium as Japan kept all four medals in judo’s founding country. Yoshida defeated six-time Grand Slam medallist Yamamoto Anzu (JPN) in the U57kg final in a battle attrition with both judoka having two shido penalties to their names going into golden score.
In golden score Yamamoto momentarily lost concentration and Yoshida did not need any invitation to launch for ippon seoi-nage and one of the best ippons of the final block.
In the first semi-final Yoshida squeezed past Karakas Hedvig (HUN) by a waza-ari to book her place in the final. In the second semi-final Asian Championships bronze medallist and world number 10 Lien Chen-ling (TPE) lost out to Yamamoto by ippon.
In the first bronze medal contest Lien was caught off guard on the ground and former Junior world champion Tamaoki Momo (JPN) took full advantage with a yoko-shiho-gatame for ippon.
The second bronze medal contest saw former world champion Udaka Nae (JPN) beat Karakas with one minute left by ippon with a ashi-guruma. Olympic champion Rafaela SILVA (BRA) was unceremoniously dispatched in the opening U57kg round by Lkhagvatogoo Enkhriilen (MGL) after receiving three shido penalties.
