Gold

With Ebinuma out of the way, An looked all set to claim the -66kg crown except things didn't go according to the script. Basile, who had been creating upsets all day long, did it again in the final. After a fierce exchange of grip fighting, he slipped underneath An with a drop seoi-otoshi. With his left leg blocking An's left leg, there was no escape. The Korean was flat on his back.
