Four-time Olympic wrestling champion Kaori Icho on Sunday won her first competition since returning from a two-year break after winning gold at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games.
Icho won three bouts for her victory in the women's 57-kilogram division at the All Japan Women's Open Championships in Mishima, Shizuoka Prefecture.
It took only 38 seconds for Icho to beat Ayako Shimanaka of Doshisha University via technical fall in the first round to start off her return to the mat.
