Qingdao Grand Prix runner-up MA Sisi (CHN) took heavyweight gold in Havana as she bested European bronze medallist Franziska KONITZ (GER). MA, who won the Madrid European Open a week ago, and her opponent were only separated after a tense four minutes from a yuko scored by MA who is on the rise in 2014.
In the first semi-final KONITZ silenced the teeming crowd with the scalp of Olympic and world champion Idalys ORTIZ (CUB). KONITZ was a figure of composure as she forced ORTIZ to make errors and receive shido penalties for stepping out of the area and twice for passivity to lose out on penalties 3-2. In the second semi-final MA stopped the route to the final of cadet world champion Gusmary GARCIA SAVIGNE (CUB) by pinning her down in osaekomi-waza with a mune-gatame.
The first bronze medal was won by Baku Grand Slam bronze medallist Ksenia CHIBISOVA (RUS) who ensured GARCIA SAVIGNE left her home event without a medal. CHIBISOVA scored a waza-ari and her Cuban rival accumulated two shido penalties for passivity as she had to settle for a respectable fifth-place. The second bronze medal was clinched by European champion Emilie ANDEOL (FRA) as ORTIZ suffered the same fate as her younger teammate GARCIA SAVIGNE. ORTIZ was penalised for passivity, a false attack and going out of the area as she lacked bite on home soil and lost out by shido penalties with only one against the French fighter.
