with a yoko-shiho-gatame. In the semifinal she beat Kanae Yamabe with a uki-goshi before losing the final to Émilie Andéol. She finished the season ranked world number one, having won 5 IJF events along with her Olympic silver. She won the bronze medal in the 2017 World Openweight Championships, beating Romane Dicko with a shime-waza. In 2018, she won her first IJF title since 2016. She was also part of the Cuba team that won 5 gold medals at the 2018 Pan American Championships. Ortiz credits her success to hard training, 7 hours a day, and a regime that involves training against men, because of the few women in her weight category.
