Favourites lined up for new Olympic champion U57kg
A spectacular start to the women's up to 57kg tournament where, like yesterday, the big shock fell at the beginning. Today too, the reigning Olympic champion lost in the early stages. Nora Gjakova had to face the giant killer Enkhriilen Lkhagvatogoo from Mongolia, who later also managed to beat Pauline Starke but lost in a thrilling match against world champion Mimi Huh from Korea. Despite having beaten Huh three times before, perhaps the world title and Olympic tournament brought Huh to great heights again and she made it to the semi-finals.
