Shiori Yoshimura won the gold medal in the category for women U78kg. Yoshimura was simply the best today and defeated all her five opponents. Among the challengers strong European fighters such as Karen Stevenson (NED) in the second match and Madeleine Malonga (FRA) in the quarter final. After two minutes in the match Shiori Yoshimura finished her opponent from Brazil by oseikomi and gave Japan its second gold medal of the tournament.
The bronze for women U78kg was for Brigita Matic of Croatia who adds an amazing success to her sister’s performance of Friday! She needed 12 seconds to defeat one of the two French in the bronze finals; Samah Camara. Successcoach Vladimir Preradovic couldn’t stop cheering and sister Barbara was amazingly happy for her youngster sister. Both needed a success after some deceptions but two medals at one championship in the family is outstanding.
Madeleine Malonga was one of the favourites in advance of the tournament. The French European Champion couldn’t defeat Japanese Shiori Yoshimura in the quarter final and was sent to the repechage which she dealt with well making two victories against Gracner (SLO) and Portuondo (CAN) to take the bronze.
