Paris Olympics, judoka Sanshiro Murao earned the silver at the men’s 90-kilogram judo event on Wednesday. In his first Olympic performance, the 23-year-old was defeated by Georgian Lasha Bekauri in the final after defeating a tough competitor. This was so especially for Murao, who rose to the podium with sheer skill and perseverance.

Nearly invincible at the tender age of 24 Lasha Bekauri of Georgia confirmed his superiority and won his second Olympic title in the men’s under-90 kg judo competition. At the same time, Barbara Matic of Croatia rejoiced about victory in the under-70 kg division and becoming the first Croatian athlete to win gold at the Paris Games.

In a spirited final, Bekauri triumphed over Sanshiro Murao of Japan. The second waza-ari for Bekauri – that result of a video review – came with only four seconds left on the clock to end the match.

Only a few moments earlier, the Japanese judoka who won the bronze in the world championship was surprised by his coach when he was given a similar verdict on the move. Two minutes and 37 seconds into the fight, Bekauri equalized for a waza-ari by Murao.

Bekauri who has two Olympic crowns has ambition of clinching the title in four years at the Games in Los Angeles.

"I will continue to train everyday, my goal is gold of course," he said.

Only a few seconds before that, the Japanese judoka, a bronze medalist in the world championship, stunned his coach by getting a similar decision reversed on a move. Murao scored an initial waza-ari, but Bekauri equalized with a score of two minutes and 37 seconds into the match.

Now, four years from now, at the Games in Los Angeles, Bekauri will try to win again and make it a “three” after having won two Olympic championships.

"I am really disappointed," the silver medalist Murao said through tears. "I had prepared to win no matter what the situation was, so I fought with confidence."

"I am frustrated because, despite my performance in the competition, in the end I could not win the gold medal that I wanted so badly."

Murao showcased his abilities in makiuchi uchimata and osoto gari moves to clinch Japan’s fourth gold medal in judo at the Paris Games having followed Nagase Takanori in the 81 kg, Hifumi Abe in the 66 kg, and Natsumi Tsunoda in the 48 kg. He performed actions necessary to overcome the first opponents to get into the semifinals and then get two waza-ari with maximum-gale Ngyab Hammond from France who finally took the bronze medal. This created a buildup to the match he was looking forward to against Bekauri at the Champ-de-Mars Arena.

Concluding the women’s G1 World Cup with a third-place finish in the last year’s World Championships while being commended by the renowned Tokai University, Murao made the first waza-ari in the first minute of the bout. However, with determination and steady aim to increase his lead further, Bekauri countered with a firm back shot which made the score 5-5. Then, the fight went on and fighters could be considered trying to dominate an opponent in a fight.

Finally, in the last period of the game, the referees rushed to the reviewing of the pivotal point from the view box. Not to be outdone, Murao overextends on a throw attempt and in trying to reverse it, both competitors crash to the mat in an embarrassing but impressive display of flipping.

Murao had earlier shown his prowess against Ngayap Hambou where he juggled briefly, pushed the Frenchman back with a one-leg balacing and after bending him hit an inner leg sweep (or o-uchi-gari) for an ippon. However, Bekauri learned his fighting tricks to defeat and also to retain his champion title, thus, this strategy was a failure.
