Odc. 87: Fujiko mierzy się z Teleshikovą w półfinale, podczas gdy Yawara radzi jej, by zaatakowała jako pierwsza.

87

Kuniko reports back to Japan with schadenfreude that Yawara is doing badly and Fujiko well, though both have reached the semifinals. Fujiko faces the fearsome Teleshikova in free weight semifinals. Teleshikova regards Fujiko as a "flea" and "nobody," while Fujiko knows she will lose no matter what, and only wants to avoid being a liability to Yawara. Yawara tells her to strike first against Teleshikova before she could pick up her un deux trois rhythm. Not showing any respect for Fujiko, Teleshikova suffers a waza ari. Yawara is able to finish off her opponent quickly to start giving tips to Fujiko. Fujiko scores another yuko off Teleshikova, who is losing her cool. At home, Fujiko's parents are wondering how she is doing, as there is no live coverage. They have heard she has been entered in the free weight contest but believe she will not win first place as usual. As they reflect, they find that the overflowed tea cup contains a lucky vertical tea stem and grow optimistic with a "maybe...she can win!" (Source: Wikipedia)
