Japan's Hifumi Abe retained his men's under 66-kg crown before Diyora Keldiyorova, who had ended Abe's sister's Olympic title defense earlier in the day, won Uzbekistan's first judo gold medal in the women's under 52-kg class on Sunday.

Abe pointed two fingers in the air after beating Brazilian Willian Lima in the final to indicate that he now owned two Olympic gold medals, including the one he won in front of empty stands in Tokyo during the COVID-19 pandemic three years ago.
