Half-Middleweight (≤63 kilograms), Women

Date	31 July 2012
Status	Olympic
Location	ExCeL, Newham, London (Hall 2)
Participants	24 from 24 countries
Format	Losing quarter-finalists compete against losing semi-finalist for bronze.

The two favorites were 2011 World Champion Gevrise Émane of France and two-time World Champion Yoshie Ueno of Japan. However, both of them went out in the quarter-finals and they would both settle for bronze medals. Émane lost to Mongolian Tsedevsurenqiin Mönkhzaya, while Ueno lost to Korean Jeong Da-Wun, but neither of them made the finals. Mönkhzaya lost in the semis to Slovenian Urška Žolnir, who had won a bronze medal at the 2004 Olympics, while Jeong lost to the unknown Chinese Xu Lili. The final match was an easy victory as Žolnir moved ahead by waza-ari at 1:27 and held that lead, with Xu scoring only a yuko in the last second of the match. Xu had been 17th at the 2011 Worlds in her only major international exposure.
