Had to wait a couple of hours for the update, but, heh — a few minutes ago, judo legend Shohei Ono just won the -73kg gold, with a beautiful throw.
The kicker: he was totally playing the harder game.

Two days ago, in the 60kg men’s category for Judo, Naohisa Takato fought Yang Yung-wei in the finals and won Japan’s first gold of the Tokyo Olympics.
He won with zero scores. Yang simply had more penalties than he did.
My old coach was disappointed. But I wasn’t.
