Playing at the Coventry Arena Judo Mat 2, the Indian Judoka faced tough competition from her opponent while she received second ‘Shido’ on the board. The match lasted for 3 minutes and 29 seconds. The Scottish judoka was too good for Tulika, she enforced an ippon to take home gold. The Indian had to be settled for a silver medal in the women’s +78 kg category. It is India’s third medal in Judo this Commonwealth Games.
Earlier today, Maan reached the final of the women’s +78 kg category after defeating Sydnee Andrews of New Zealand in the semifinal.

The Indian initially violated a rule in the 36th second of the match and got a ‘Shido’. Her opponent Andrews gained a Waza-ari in the 57th second of the match. But the New Zealander was not prepared for what was coming as Maan gained the Ippon at the one-minute 53rd-second mark and sealed her spot in the final.
Indian Judoka entered the semifinal of the women’s +78 kg category after defeating Tracy Durhone of Mauritius in the quarterfinals.
Maan gained a Waza-ari within just 42 seconds into the match. On the other hand, Durhone violated the rules twice, once at the 1:30 minute mark and later at the 2:30 minute mark, due to which she was penalised twice. The Indian gained another Waza-ari at the 2:53 mark and finished the match after getting an Ippon before it could touch the 3-minute mark.
