Wezeu Dombeu may have lost in the final but she won the admiration of the fans and won her country's first medal in the Commonwealth Games.
In the first semi-final Wezeu Dombeu bested Canadian Championships winner Beatrice Valois Fortier (CAN) by a waza-ari in a notable result which guaranteed her Cameroon’s first judo medal in Glasgow.
She was defeated in the final by former European champion Sarah CLARK from Scotland.
The 36-year-old Scottish stalwart executed a beautiful turnover as she prised open Wezeu Dombeu – who has been training extensively in Paris - and locked on the juji-gatame.
