BEIJING — From the looks of things, Japan's female judoka are just getting fired up.
Masae Ueno won Japan's second Olympic gold in two days, storming her way to the top podium spot to successfully defend her title at 70 kg with an ippon victory in the final over Anaysi Hernandez of Cuba at the Beijing Games on Wednesday.
Ueno, the 2004 Athens Olympics champion, wasted little time with the Cuban, pulling out Hernandez's legs with one hand while shoving her down 46 seconds into the match for an emphatic win at Beijing Science and Technology University Gymnasium.
