Su overwhelmed Ha Min-ah of South Korea with a series of punches and kicks to win by a final score of 10-4 and claim gold, the sixth won by Taiwan at the Universiade thus far.
The final was a repeat of the gold medal bout in the same weight division at the Asian Games in Jakarta in 2018, when Su defeated Ha 29-10.
