Middleweight (≤66 kilograms), Women

Date	22 July 1996
Status	Olympic
Location	Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta, Georgia (Hall H)
Participants	20 from 20 countries
Format	Two single-elimination pools, with winner of each pool advanced to the final. All judoka losing to the finalists in each pool advanced to repêchage pools, with the winners of the repêchage pools earning bronze medals.

Jo Min-Seon had competed in the women’s judo demonstration event at the 1988 Olympics, placing third. She had since won the 1993 and 1995 World Championships and was heavily favored in Atlanta. Jo was never challenged, winning all five matches by ippon, with the final against the surprising Aneta Szczepańska of Poland, who had no international record of any sort. Jo would eventually win Korean national titles in five different weight categories (48 to 66 kg).
