Athens Olympic gold medalist Saori Yoshida dominated Hitomi Sakamoto to win the final of the women's 55-kg class, claiming her fifth straight crown at the national championships on Sunday.
Yoshida outclassed the reigning world champion at 51 kg in nearly every aspect, tackling Sakamoto several times in the first period before finishing off her opponent for a convincing 2-0 win at Komazawa gymnasium.
Yoshida extended her winning streak to 103. In men's freestyle action, Kenichi Yumoto clinched his second consecutive title at 60 kg at the Tokyo meet, which doubles as a qualifier for the world championships in Azerbaijan in September.
