In the medal round, the Canadian defeated Manon Deketer of France before facing off against Megumi Horikawa of Japan in the final. Horikawa eventually came out on top to earn the first world title of her career.
Beauchemin-Pinard, who won bronze at Tokyo 2020, continued her successful 2022 season by adding another medal to her collection. The Canadian previously claimed silver at the Panamerican-Oceania Judo Championships in April and gold at the Zagreb Gran Prix in July.
