-48kg: ENDO captures World Judo Masters gold

Montevideo Pan American Open winner ENDO Hiromi (JPN) topped the -48kg medal podium at the World Judo Masters after a final with Olympic champion Sarah MENEZES (BRA) culminated in the Brazilian being penalised with a shido which separated the judoka after five minutes. ENDO’s superior work ethic was summed up when she nearly scored with a de-ashi-barai in the closing seconds.

In the semi-final stage MENEZES overcome Dusseldorf Grand Prix winner OKAMOTO Riho (JPN) by ko-soto-gake for ippon while ENDO Hiromi (JPN) blasted past Paris Grand Slam bronze medallist Urantsetseg MUNKHBAT (MGL) in 37 seconds.

The first bronze medal was won by OKAMOTO Riho (JPN) who went ahead against London 2012 bronze medallists Charline VAN SNICK (BEL) with a uchi-mata for a yuko score and doubled her advantage with a second yuko. VAN SNICK battled her way back with a yuko of her won but time ran out on her spirited comeback. The second bronze was clinched by London 2012 Olympian Dayaris MESTRE ALVAREZ (CUB) who, despite picking up a knee injury in the second half of the contest, overcome Urantsetseg MUNKHBAT (MGL) who lost out on penalties.
