Gold
A good opening drop sode-tsuri-komi-goshi attack by Jeong sent Pareto flying through the air but she managed to land on her front. No score. A nice kouchi-gari by Pareto (off a double sleeve grip) scored waza-ari, which allowed her to play a tactical match until time ran out. Pareto was now not only a World Champion but an Olympic Champion too!
