Renshall secured victory when Hecker was given a third shido for stepping out of the contest area.

Britain's Kelly Petersen Pollard was fifth in the -70kg category after losing to Germany's Miriam Butkereit.

A close contest went all the way to a golden score where Butkereit registered a waza-ari in the opening minute to seal the win and take the bronze medal.
