Sweden's Lise Sandebjer once again plunged the home crowd into silence as she recorded a split decision win over Italy's Roberta Mostarda in the 51kg event.

Turkey's Busenaz Cakiroglu is also through to the gold medal match after she beat Bulgaria's Gabriela Dimitrova on a unanimous judges' decision.

Italy's Monica Floridia also suffered a defeat in the last four of the 69kg event as she was outclassed by Poland's Hanna Solecka, who claimed a split decision win.

Germany's Nadine Apetz is also through to the final after scoring a split decision victory over Ireland's Grainne Walsh.

Busenaz Surmeneli of Turkey handed Italy another semi-final loss when she beat Assunta Canfora on a unanimous points decision in the 75kg division.
