London: Japan’s Kaori Matsumoto won gold over Romanian Corina Caprioriu after the latter was disqualified during the golden score period in the women’s -57kg Judo final at ExCeL.
Caprioriu was penalised for trying to hold Matsumoto’s leg to flip over the Japanese.
Defeated semi-finalist Marti Malloy won the bronze medal after defeating defending Olympic champion Giulia Quintavalle from Italy.
USA’s Malloy sealed the fate of the match within a short span of time by pinning Quintavalle on her back to score an Ippon.
The second bronze medal was bagged by Automne Pavia from France after she defeated Hedvig Karakas by a swift leg sweep which resulted in the Hungarian’s fall.
Pavia climbed down to hug her coach before greeting French President Francois Hollande.
