The last female final of the Grand Prix in Portugal saw the World Judo Masters bronze medallist, Hayun Kim (KOR), facing Stessie Bastareaud (FRA), who appeared for the first time at that level of competition.

The final went fast as Stessie Bastareaud applied a forbidden technique on the arm of her opponent and was disqualified. It was a gold medal for Hayun Kim.

Sarah Adlington (GBR) and Adiyasuren Amarsaikhan (MGL) were opposed in the first bronze medal contest. Adlington entered the golden score period with two shido to her name, while Amarsaikhan only had one. After less than one minute of extra time, the Mongolian caught the British competitor with an osae-komi-waza for ippon.

Ivana Maranic (CRO) and Marit Kamps (NED) met for the second bronze medal match. As Ivana Maranic couldn’t participate, Marit Kamps was designated the winner of the bronze medal.

Just before the final block, the Dutch athlete, Marit Kamps, also received her gold medal from the Junior World Championships Olbia 2021, from the hands of IJF Head Refereeing Director Ki Young Jeon.
