The Background

The United States has never won an Olympic gold medal in judo – until now. In the 2016 Rio Olympics, American judoka Kayla Harrison won the gold in the women’s 78kg weight class. Her opponent in the final was Audrey Tcheumeo of France, who took silver. This was a rematch of sorts for Harrison and Tcheumeo. In the 2012 London Olympics, Harrison had also faced Tcheumeo for the gold medal in the 78kg weight class. Harrison won that match as well, making her the first American to win an Olympic gold medal in judo. In both the 2012 and 2016 Olympics, Harrison dominated her opponents en route to the finals. In the 2016 finals against Tcheumeo, Harrison won by ippon (a clean throw that immediately ends the match). It was a convincing victory for Harrison, who is now a two-time Olympic champion.

In the end, it was Harrison who emerged victorious, winning by ippon (a full point) after just four minutes and thirty seconds. This was her second Olympic gold medal, having also won in 2012.

The match did not disappoint. It was a close fight, with both women giving as good as they got. In the end, it was Harrison who emerged victorious, though Tcheumeo put up a valiant effort.

We’ll never know for sure, but one thing is certain: it would have been an exciting finish to an already incredible Olympics.

The Impact

The 2016 Olympic games featured many intense and emotional moments, but perhaps none more so than the judo match between American Kayla Harrison and French rival Audrey Tcheumeo. The two had met twice before in world championship matches, with Tcheumeo winning both times. This time, however, Harrison emerged victorious, denying Tcheumeo the gold medal. The match had a profound impact on both athletes. For Harrison, it was a moment of redemption and proof that she could compete with the best in the world. For Tcheumeo, it was a crushing defeat that left her in tears. The two women embraced after the match, and their sportsmanship was widely praised.

This victory cemented her legacy as one of the greatest judokas of all time.
