Olympic gold medalist Uta Abe continued her domination of the women's 52-kg division Sunday at the International Judo Federation's Grand Slam Tokyo, beating two-time world champion Ai Shishime in an all-Japanese final.
Cheered on by older brother and fellow Tokyo Olympic champion Hifumi, the 22-year-old Abe went on the offensive early but met fierce resistance from the 28-year-old Shishime at the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium.
After entering golden score, the contest came to an anti-climactic end when Shishime incurred her third shido penalty.
