Fighting on home ground carried Japanese Shohei Ono to the third men’s gold in Judo, having been preferred to his countryman Soichi Hashimoto for nomination for the Tokyo Olympics. The three-time world champion in this class, and Rio 2016 gold medallist, Oni defeated top seed Lasha Shavdatuashvili in the final, scoring a Waza-ari (half point) for his Sasae-tsurikomi-ashi (ankle-kick) after 9:25 min in the Golden Score. At this point, Ono had already picked up his second Shido (penalty) and was in danger of being disqualified. In the semi-final, he also needed the extra-time to score a Waza-ari against Mongolia’s Tsend-Ochiryn Tsogtbaatar and proceed to the final. Ono also beat second seed, and 2016 silver medallist, Rüstəm Orucov from Azerbaijan in the second round. Bronze medals went to Tsogtbaatar and Korean An Chang-Rim, who toppled Orucov in the bronze medal match.
