Japanese judoka Yoko Ono defeated France's Margaux Pinot on Sunday and earned her country's fifth gold medal on the final day of the prestigious Paris Grand Slam.
Ono and Pinot took their women's 70-kilogram final into golden score, but the home favorite conceded after being penalized for a third time for leaving the area. The 29-year old Ono earned her third Grand Slam title.
"I'm relieved since I know the difference between gold and silver is very big," Ono said. "I was extremely fixated on winning and I picked up the gold medal."
