| Gold | Haruka Tachimoto | Japan |
| Silver | Yuri Alvear | Colombia |
| Bronze (A) | Sally Conway | Great Britain |
| Bronze (B) | Laura Vargas Koch | Germany |
Baker defeated Georgia's Varlam Liparteliani, 1s2-0, notching a solitary yuko to earn the win and the gold medal.
Gwak Donghan of South Korea defeated Sweden's Marcus Nyman to win the bronze (A), meanwhile, ending the match by ippon. In the bronze (B) bout, Cheng Xunzhao of China defeated Mongolia's Otgonbaatar Lkhagvasuren, 1s2-0s1.
It was all about the Japanese on Wednesday, however, as Tachimoto defeated Colombia's Yuri Alvear by ippon to earn the gold medal in the women's competition.
The International Judo Federation showed Tachimoto enjoying the moment with her sister:
Great Britain's Sally Conway took the bronze (A) over Austria's Bernadette Graf, 1s2-0, while Laura Vargas Koch of Germany defeated Spain's Maria Bernabeu, 10-0, to win bronze (B).
The Japanese will surely be pleased with how dominant they've been in judo to this point, as Shawn Smith of NBC Sports noted:
Suffice to say, 2016 has been a much more dominant year for the Japanese.
The judo tournament will continue on Thursday, with the men's 100-kilogram competition and the women's 78-kilogram weight class in action.
