Judo at the 1992 Barcelona Summer Games:

At the last two World Championships, the final match had come down to [Alessandra Giungi] (ITA) and [Sharon Rendle] (GBR), with Rendle winning in 1989 and Giungi in 1991. In her third-round match Rendle faced hometown favorite [Almudena Muñoz]. In a close match that went to hantei, the referee raised Rendle’s hand, but the judges overruled, giving the decision to Muñoz by yusei-gachi. Giungi also lost an upset by yusei-gachi, in the B Pool semi to Japan’s [Noriko Mizoguchi]. Muñoz won the final, but only by koka. Muñoz would win a silver medal at the 1993 World Championships, her only other podium finish at a major international.
