Judo, Women's 57Kg Semi-final: Yamini Mourya wins on Ippon; confirms a medal

Yamini made short work of South Africa’s Donne Breytenbach, pinning her to the mat in just 1 minute and 38 seconds.

Donne attempted a throw but was caught in a dangerous position on Yamini’s counterattack. Yamini held her grip firmly, preventing any escape, and finished the contest with an Ippon.

This meant that India will have three confirmed medals on the first day of the judo programme. The medal bouts are scheduled to start at 8:30 PM IST.
