About 50 seconds before the end of the match, Kim Ji-su grabbed Timo from behind after Timo failed a throw attempt. She then rotated her opponent sideways once, followed by another rotation to control Timo's upper body.
She then freed her left leg, which had been held by Timo's leg, and was awarded a hold-down decision.
Timo was pinned by Kim Ji-su for 20 seconds and could not lift her back off the ground. With 7 seconds remaining in the match, Timo lost by ippon.
