Japan's Takanori Nagase won the men's -81kg judo gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics by beating Saeid Mollaei of Mongolia in the final, extending the gold rush by Japanese judokas.
Rio bronze medallist Nagase's victory marked a fifth judo gold medal for hosts Japan at the Games, edging them closer to their previous Olympic record of eight titles in 2004 in Athens.
"That was the moment when my goal of winning Olympic gold was met, so I couldn't help but shed tears," Nagase told reporters after the presentation ceremony."I've been fully prepared for tough matches. Given tough competitors, I've tackled every single match as finals," he added.
