PHNOM PENH–Fil-Japanese Rena Furukawa retained her women’s under 57kg tiara to lead a one-gold, one-silver, one-bronze opening harvest for the Philippine judo team in the 32nd Southeast Asian Games Sunday.
Furukuwa, 25, had a bye in the Round of 8 then defeated Vietnamese Nguyen Ngoc Dien Phuong in the semifinals to get in play for the gold against Wai, the same Burmese opponent she beat in the last SEA Games in Vietnam. “Very happy to win a second gold. I trained hard and expected it,” said the two-time SEA Games champ.
Nakano posted three wins and one loss in his side of the competition, which featured a round-robin format. Indonesia’s Dewa Kadek Putra succeeded the Fil-Japanese as champ after going unbeaten in four matches.
