Judo first became an official Olympic sport at the 1964 Tokyo Games. Due to the structure of the points system introduced, overseas judoka began breaking Japan's dominance, but many Japanese judoka, such as Toshihiko Koga, continued to strive to win with a single ippon. Koga's 1992 Olympic gold medal in Barcelona was a testament to his traditional approach to judo, as taught by founder Jigoro Kano, and he is now passing down this teaching philosophy to the younger generations ahead of Tokyo 2020. |
