Shohei Ono loses to a foreign player for the first time in 7 years
Shohei Ono, a 73-kilometer male gold medalist, participated in the second quarter-final match, which was the first match in Japan.
However, when the match time was short, he was defeated by being deprived of his waza-ari by a "body drop" that involved a German player.
Even though it is a group match, Ono has lost to a foreign player for the first time in seven years since he lost to a Korean player at the 2014 World Championships.
