So many surprises in this category which adds -50 and -55 kg. In Pool A, the Turkish Ozcelik, Olympic No.1 and World No.1 in -50 kg, does not win a fight. Unlike the surprise guest, the young Bulgarian Ivet Goranova, Olympic No.27, who finished undefeated, ahead of Tzu-Yun Wen.
In group B, if Anzhelica Terliuga ranked 1st despite 2 draws, the Austrian Bettina Plank was the 2nd surprise guest, ahead of Japanese Miyahara. Thus, the ½ finals oppose Goranova to Plank and Terliuga to Wen.

Group A is the group of the unexpected, the surprises. Amputee of the young Russian prodigy of 19 years, Anna Chernysheva, tested positive for Covid a few days before the Olympics, each fight was worth a lot and did not allow the error. Yet this is what happened to the main contender, Turkish Ozcelik, against the young Iranian Bahmanyar, who admirably countered her (5-4 with a sweep 7 seconds from the end) then against Bulgarian Goranova. (loss 5-1).
Precisely, Ivet Goranova, Olympic n°27, was unbeatable, winning with the manner (5-4, 5-1, 5-2).
In Group B, Ukrainian Anzhelica Terliuga managed not to lose and won the necessary matches, especially the final one against Japan’s Miyahara. The loser would have been eliminated. Terliuga had fun (1 Ippon, 4-0 win).
