Earlier, Shushila had assured the country of a medal after progressing to the final, beating Priscilla Morand of Mauritius.
The 27-year-old from Manipur took down Morand with an ‘Ippon’ to set up a gold medal clash with Michaela Whitebooi of South Africa.
Ippon is a move in which a contestant throws his opponent to the mat with considerable force and speed so that the opponent lands on his back. An ippon is also awarded when a contestant immobilizes his opponent with a grappling hold-down for 20 seconds, or when an opponent gives up.
A sub-inspector with Manipur Police, Shushila had progressed to the quarterfinals with a win over Harriet Bonface of Malawi earlier in the day.
