The international judo tournament "World Masters" opened in Qatar on the 11th, and Tsukasa Yoshida, who has been nominated for the Tokyo Olympics in the women's 57 kg class, won the tournament for the first time in about a year.
The Judo World Masters is a tournament ranked next to the Olympics and World Championships, and nine people from Japan, including athletes who have been appointed as representatives of the Tokyo Olympics, undergo two PCR tests before leaving Japan and are completely isolated in the field. We will participate under strict infection prevention measures.
Yoshida, who has been appointed as the representative of the Tokyo Olympics in the women's 57 kg class held on the first day of the tournament, has participated in the tournament since December due to the injury of his left middle finger and the spread of infection, but he is good at three games such as Uchi mata. I took all the points by the technique and proceeded to the final.
In the final, he played against France's Saraleoni Shishike and aggressively attacked with a sleeve-fishing waist, but he couldn't score points and entered the extension.
Yoshida continued to attack with footwork even in overtime, and after 5 minutes of overtime, he held down the opponent who seemed tired with a ground fight and won one and won the championship.
Funa Tonaki, who has been nominated for the Tokyo Olympics in the women's 48-kilometer class, advanced to the final by defeating Ukraine's Daria Bilodid, who has won the world championship for the second time in a row, for the first time in the fifth match.
However, in the final, he lost one to Kosovo's Distoria Krasnichi, who won this tournament last time, and finished second.
