At the first round, Yang Shu-chun of Chinese Taipei was controversially disqualified near the end of the first period when she was leading 9-0 against her Vietnamese opponent Vũ Thị Hậu. "Unauthorized" electronic sensors were allegedly found in her socks before or during the match. Yang's equipment had passed the pre-match inspection. After the disqualification, Yang protested the judgement in tears and refused to leave the mat. Yang's disqualification drew a furious response from media and fans in Taiwan.
