Mayra Aguiar still counts with first gold in Tokyo
Former and 3-time world champion Mayra Aguiar (BRA) defeated Shmeleva (AIN) and the other two Japanese fighters, Mizuki Sugimura and then Mami Umeki, to make her way to the final. Her win against Umeki took her only 7 seconds, as she threw the experienced world champion with ko-uchi-gari in the first exchange. She captured the first gold medal since her debut in Tokyo in 2009 after defeating Israeli World Champion Lanir Inbar.
