Japan's Hisayoshi Harasawa had to settle for the silver medal after falling to London Olympic champion Teddy Riner of France on penalties in the men's over 100-kg class on the final day of the judo competition at the Rio Olympics on Friday.
In the women's over-78 kg category, Kanae Yamabe took a bronze medal after defeating Turkey's Kayra Sayit by waza-ari in a match for third place.
The 24-year-old Harasawa, who was making his Olympic debut, put up a brave fight but was no match for seven-time world champion Riner, who successfully defended the title to match countryman David Douillet as a two-time Olympic champion.
