There were only eight starters but it was a strong field, including several of the last few champions from the All-England Open. The Olympic demonstration event was won by Japan’s Noriko Nakajama, who also won the 1972 All-England Open. She defeated Indonesian Utami Dewi, Indonesian champion from 1971-75, in the final. Dewi, who was the sister of Rudy Hartono, defeated Japan’s Hiroe Yuki in the semi-finals. Yuki had won the All-England title in 1969 and would win again in 1974-75. Dewi had also defeated Sweden’s Eva Twedberg, the 1968 and 1971 All-England Champion, in the first round.
