British middleweight Lucy Renshall found a solution to reach the medal stage and even captured the first Grand Slam victory of her career. Last week Renshall finished fifth in Tbilisi. In the final faced the Venezuelan Anriquelis Barrios (VEN), third in Tashkent earlier in the season.
For more than 6 minutes, the final was well balanced, only penalties being distributed, but after two minutes of golden score, Lucy Renshall could finally hook Barrios's foot with a ko-uchi-gari for a liberating waza-ari.
For the first bronze medal, we found the two Chinese representatives, the 19th in the world Tang Jing (CHN) and the 15th in the world Yang Junxia (CHN), for a fratricidal conflict that could well decide the Olympic place for China. Quickly led by a waza-ari score, Yang surrendered a little later due to an injury and left the mat under applause.
Catherine Beauchemin-Pinard (CAN), who was seeded number one in the competition, did not manage to reach the final, beaten in the semi-final by Renshall. She still had a possibility for the bronze medal, against Gili Sharir (ISR), but it took her almost 6 minutes of golden score to finally win the medal as Sharir was penalised for the third time.
