The first and last final of the day opposed the +78kg world number one ASAHINA Sarah (JPN), who eliminated Ortiz Idalys (CUB) in the semi-final, and world number two Larisa CERIC (BIH), who took the advantage over the Dutch Tessie SAVELKOULS to access the final. In front of her father, who was cheering from the stands, ASAHINA, who was the ultimate favourite, took control of the match with a sasae-tsuri-komi-ashi for a waza-ari. A little later she scored again waza-ari with the same technique, which she followed on the floor with an immobilisation for ippon.
