Filipina Judoka Kiyomi Watanabe falls short as World no. 22 from China Ting Jang scores Ippon on the early seconds of the match in the -63kg Judo division of the Olympic Games Paris 2024.
Filipina Judoka Kiyomi Watanabe relived the nightmare of Tokyo 2020, overwhelmed by the prowess of China's Ting Jang, after tapping out in the early seconds of the Round of 32 match in the -63kg Judo division.
Jang was quick to capitalize on the incomplete throw and performed a pinch headlock on Watanabe to score an Ippon.
Watanabe bows out of the competition, while Jang will advance in Round of 16 and face Laura Fazliu of Kosovo.
The Pinay Judoka suffered the same fate in Tokyo 2020, being eliminated in the Round of 32 via Ippon.
