Paris Games wrestling gold medal hopeful Akari Fujinami of Japan extended her winning streak to 119 matches on Wednesday to match three-time Olympic champion Saori Yoshida's career-best mark.

The 19-year-old Fujinami added to her streak with three wins, all by technical fall, to claim the 53-kg title at the Asian wrestling championships in Astana, Kazakhstan.

"Saori-san lives in another world," Fujinami said. "Even if I matched her winning streak, I'm nowhere near as strong as her."

Marcie Van Dusen of the United States ended Yoshida's unbeaten run in the 55-kg category at a World Cup team event in January 2008.

Fujinami's streak dates back to her junior high school days in September 2017 and includes her world championship victory in 2021.

Four-time Olympic gold medalist Kaori Icho held a 189-match winning streak.
