Location | Ringer-Judo-Halle, Messegelände (Halle 14), München | |
Participants | 35 from 35 countries | |
Format | Two single-elimination pools, with winner of each pool advanced to the semi-finals. All judoka losing to the finalists in each pool advanced to repêchage pools. Winners of each repêchage pool advanced to the semi-finals. |
The Japanese entrant, Shinobu Sekine, had won the All-Japan Championships a few months earlier and was considered the favorite. Also considered was Jean-Paul Coche, who had won the European title in May. Sekine won his first three matches, but then lost to Oh Seung-Lip of Korea. Fortunately, Oh won the pool, allowing Sekine to advance via the repêchage. In the semi-final he faced Brian Jacks of Great Britain, and defeated him via decision. In the other semi, Oh faced Coche, and threw him with osoto-gari in four minutes. The final was thus a re-match between Oh and Sekine. There was little action in the match, which was closely fought. Lasting the entire 10 minutes, Sekine won the gold medal by split decision.
