Hifumi Abe (26) and Uta Abe (23, both from Park 24), brother and sister who won gold medals at the Tokyo Olympics in the men’s 66 kg and women’s 52 kg classes, made it past the first round. My sister’s poem appeared first. The Vietnamese player won by default.

Next, his older brother Hifumi will advance to the second round of the first round. He beat the South Korean player with an Osotogari motion that resembled a shoulder nage, slamming his back onto the tatami mats and keeping a cool face as he won by ippon, causing a stir in the venue.

After that, Uta defeated the Brazilian player by ippon and advanced to the quarterfinals. Hifumi also defeated the Italian player with a shoulder throw and advanced to the quarterfinals.
