Kim Ji-Su on form claiming second Grand Slam in a year
Miku Takaichi (JPN) is what we call a big name in world judo. In the semi-final, Takaichi found Jisu Kim (KOR), who defeated pool B favourite Lucy Renshall (GBR). That should have been a sign demonstrating Kim's good condition. In the semi-final she proved to be a very strong competitor against Takaichi. After a first ippon in favour of the Japanese judoka which was then cancelled, it was the Korean athlete who managed to throw for ippon with a superb seoi-otoshi that surprised everyone, including her. The final opposed Dali Liluashvili and Jisu Kim.
