"We lost the chance to win a medal at this tournament. I felt disappointed. We still have one more match, and I hope we will do our best," said Japan coach Kumi Nakada after the match.
"There is still a big difference between us and the world's best level... We did our best in all our games, but the opponents were so strong. We can not just make the gap disappear, but will just try to improve ourselves and narrow the gap," she said.
