Nineteen-year-old Hifumi Abe won his second Grand Slam Tokyo title on Friday in the men's judo 66-kg division at Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium.

Abe, the winner here two years ago, won the final by ippon slamming down Yuki Hashiguchi with a seoi-otoshi, or back-drop throw. It was his third Gland Slam title, coming after his second in July in Tyumen, Russia.

"I could show my strength in pressuring the opponent and winning by a throw," said Abe, who lost to Hashiguchi twice in one day last month at the Kodokan Cup.
