12:20: Miruko SAKANE (JPN) scored a takedown in the second period to lead 2-2 on criteria and despite Priyanshi PRAJAPAT (IND) efforts to score, there was no change in the score. Sakane's win sends her into the quarterfinals at 50kg.

11:45: A 25-second technical superiority win for defending champion Moe KIYOOKA (JPN). She won the title without any trouble last year and looks like she is on her way to a repeat

10:45: Aleksandra WITOS (POL) with a huge pin over Mia OLIVIER (FRA) at 59kg. Just stuck with a headlock and got the fall before the break. She sets up a pre-quarterfinal against Alesia HETMANAVA (AIN).

10:40: Continuing at 76kg, returning silver medalist Priya MALIK (IND) begins with a 4-0 win over Mariia SILINA (AIN). In the next match, Veronika NYIKOS (HUN), who lost to Malik in the semifinals last year, beats Myah PHILLIPS (CAN) and sets up a quarterfinal against Cancan LIU (CHN).

10:25: The first could not have been any better as Kennedy BLADES (USA) as she mauls Mariia ZENKINA (UKR) 10-0 at 76kg. Next up for her -- defending champion Ayano MORO (JPN) in the quarterfinals.
