Being mentally unprepared, Yawara is thrown for a waza ari by a supposedly weak French judoka Deneuve. She is listless and has no speed, struggling mightily before eking out a meager point difference victory, her first without an outright ippon. She is unable to support a cracking Fujiko, who wants to forfeit rather than fight. Khrushchev, also known as Teleshikova-lite, scoffs at Yawara's showing. On Fujiko first contact with Martinez, she runs backwards in fear and falls to the bleachers, with the crowd calling her a "turkey." As the match goes on, Fujiko cannot put on a move at all against Martinez, who racks up 3 yukos, 3 kokas, 1 waza ari, and 1 shido (warning) against her. Even the usually composed Jigoro is eating peanuts with shells and disclaiming that he is "done with Fujiko. When Yawara snaps out of her funk to cheer her, Fujiko is able to deploy her un deux trois attack for a comeback ippon victory in the last 20 seconds of the match. Hanazono is having trouble tuning into the match, after finding out to his complete shock that Fujiko has entered the free weight contest.
