Rio Olympic gold medalist Risako Kawai and 2016 world champion Mayu Mukaida won their respective weight class finals at the world wrestling championships, as Japan claimed both gold medals on offer in the women's events on Tuesday.
Kawai beat Elif Yesilirmak of Turkey, who bagged gold at this year's European Championships, 8-0 in the women's 59-kilogram freestyle, while Mukaida defeated Zalina Sidakova of Belarus 12-2 in the 55-kg division.
A day after 19-year-old Takuto Otoguro won the men's 65-kg freestyle, Kawai scored a takedown in the second period to go up 4-0 and launched Yesilirmak over for a four-point throw to widen the lead, following up on her gold from last year at 60-kg.
