There was a special mention for Nicole Wood, who lost her first fight as a result of a disqualification but she came back to win the group, including fighting two judoka in the weight above.
This meant she was in a three-way tie for gold so had to re-fight and this time was victorious in both fights and took to the podium to collect her prestigious gold medal.
Ben Hasler also had to fight up a weight group and was brave enough to fight both players twice.
