Acelya Toprak of England stunned the crowd with a gutsy gold-medal win in the women’s minus 57kg judo final, outlasting India’s Yamini Mourya in a brutal overtime battle that ended with three shidos forcing Mourya’s defeat. For the 28-year-old, this redemption arc—after silver at the last Games and a costly error in her previous final—made the victory even sweeter. England’s judo team dominated, with all five medal hopefuls walking away with hardware, including Lele Nairne’s bronze after a lightning-fast 28-second win over Ghana’s Frema Agyei, and Tatum Keen, Charlie Ayre, and Michael Fryer also claiming bronzes across both men’s and women’s divisions.
