Japan's Mitsushige Arita downed Australia's Adam Wright 3-1 in the men's taekwondo 80-kg final Monday to clinch the gold medal for the hosts on the third day of competition at the East Asian Games.
Meanwhile, Olympic bronze medalist Yoriko Okamoto breezed past Mongolia's Tuvshinjargal and Australia's Rosslyn Faulkner en route to the women's 67-kg final.
However, her gold medal hopes ended as South Korea's Lee In Jong kicked and punched her way to the top prize.
