Japan swept Thursday's judo events at the Tokyo Olympics, with Shori Hamada winning a gold medal in the women's under 78-kilogram event and Aaron Wolf claiming the men's under 100-kg title at Nippon Budokan.
Hamada defeated Madeleine Malonga of France shortly before Wolf completed an outstanding performance by the Olympic host, prevailing in a nail-biting final over South Korean Cho Gu-ham.
Wolf became the first Japanese to win the Olympic title in the weight division since men's head coach Kosei Inoue achieved the feat in 2000.
