nina koivumäki -lrb- born july 23 , 1985 in pori -rrb- is a finnish judoka , who played for the lightweight category .
she is a five-time national champion , and a three-time medalist at the european junior championships .
she is a member of tampereen judo club in tampere , and is coached and trained by tapio mantymaki .
koivumaki qualified for the women 's half-lightweight class -lrb- 57 kg -rrb- at the 2008 summer olympics in beijing , by placing fifth from the 2007 world judo championships in rio de janeiro , brazil .
she reached only into the second preliminary round , where she lost by two yukos to china 's xu yan .
because her opponent advanced further into the semi-finals , koivumaki offered another shot for the bronze medal by defeating algeria 's lila latrous , with a koka and a golden score , in the first repechage bout .
unfortunately , she finished only in ninth place , after losing out the second repechage bout to japan 's aiko sato , who successfully scored an ippon and a yoko shiho gatame -lrb- seven mat holds -rrb- , in three minutes .
