Shugen Nakano remained on his throne.
The Filipino-Japanese judoka was able to eke out a 1-0 victory over Vietnam’s Truong Hoang Phuc in the 31st Southeast Asian Games’ minus-66 kilogram division in men’s judo, Friday at Hoài Đức District Sporting Hall.
Shugen, whose brother Keisei lost in the minus-73kg final yesterday, scored a wazari via a kuzure kata guruma at the 3:08 mark.
It was enough to hold on to gold.
This is Shugen’s second-ever gold in the regional meet, defeating Indonesia’s Budi Prasetiyo in 2019.
