Kazakhstan’s Gulnur Yerbolova and Belarus’ Maryna Zharskaya, the defending champion, were the category’s bronze medallists.

Sayan Khertek came out on top in the men’s 57kg category, thanks to a convincing 5-0 win over Tajikistan's Akmaliddin Karimov, while Rustam Taldiev sealed the defence of his combat men’s 62kg crown by beating Kyrgyzstan's Orozbek Abtandil Uulu 7-0.

Tatsiana Matsko defended her women’s 64kg title courtesy of a quick-fire 10-0 win over Italy’s Alice Perin.

Fellow Belarusian Sviatlana Tsimashenka then overcame Cuba’s Nieves Mirtha 8-0 in the women’s 80kg final to go one better than the silver medal she won at last year’s World Championships in Bulgaria’s capital Sofia.

Russia’s Eketerina Onoprienko and Estonia’s Anna Ovtsarenko were the women’s 64kg bronze medallists, while Canada’s Katy Bryant and Bulgaria’s Mariya Oryashkova completed the women’s 80kg podium.
