Will the dream of the ″strongest siblings″ continue to Los Angeles…Abe Uta: “The absolute queen secretly had back pain trouble and heavy pressure”

A chorus of “Uta” calls echoed through the venue. Cruelly, however, it was not to honor the winner.

Abe Uta, 24, a member of the women’s 52kg Judo team for the Paris Olympics and aiming for back-to-back championships, unexpectedly lost to Uzbekistan’s Diyora Keldiyorova, 26, by Ippon in the second round. Unable to accept the defeat, Abe sobbed loudly in public after finishing her bow.

Keldiyorova threw her right hand to the side of Abe’s body and held him up with her left hand behind his back. She then took him into the close combat that Abe had been preventing, and with the only timing available, she decided on the tani-yoshi. I can only say that Keldiyorova did a magnificent job,” said Takamasa Anai, Tenri University judo club coach and a representative of the men’s 100 kg division at the London Olympics.

Three years have passed since the Tokyo Olympics, where she and her older brother Kazumi (26) won gold medals on the same day. Being on the receiving end of the chase, the young queen was being pushed both mentally and physically.

Noriko Mizoguchi, who competed in the same 52kg class as Abe at the Barcelona Olympics and won the silver medal, dared to offer some bitter advice.

She was crying after the competition, which showed her lack of mental instability and lack of self-control. I think she needed to rethink her mental control over self-discipline.
His physical conditioning was also not perfect. In the fall of 2009, after the Tokyo Olympics, he underwent surgery on both shoulders, but he competed in the All-Japan Selected Weight Class Championships in October of the same year without taking time to recover. Last fall, she also suffered from back pain, and she was in a state of full wounds.
