Nomura Tadahiro 🇯🇵 - Triple Gold Medallist in Judo! | Athlete Highlights

📲 Subscribe to @olympics: oly.ch/Subscribe
Nomura Tadahiro 野村 忠宏 is one of the most famous judo competitors in Japan.
He is the only judoka in the world who has won three Olympic Gold Medals in a row, all in the extra lightweight (-60 kg) division. Nomura began learning judo at his grandfather's dojo at age six. He won the All-Japan Selected judo championships for his weight class in April 1996 to gain a spot on the Japanese Olympic team for the 1996 Summer Olympics held in Atlanta (USA). Though relatively unknown at the world level at the time, he won his first Olympic Gold Medal defeating Girolamo Giovinazzo by seoi nage. After an injury, Nomura made his return at the All-Japan Selected judo championships in 2000, winning the competition for the third time to gain a second trip to the Olympics. He became the first -60 kg division competitor to win consecutive Olympic Gold Medals by defeating Jung Bu-Kyung of South Korea by sumi otoshi only 14 seconds into the match of the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney.
He won the Japanese nationals for the second consecutive year (fifth total win) which enabled him to seek an unprecedented third consecutive Olympic Gold Medal at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. He achieved this feat with a win over Nestor Khergiani of Georgia. This made Nomura the only Olympic judo practitioner to have won three consecutive Gold Medals, and the first Olympic competitor from Asia to win three consecutive gold medals in any competition. This was also the 100th gold medal won by Japan in the Summer Olympics. Enjoy watching his highlights from his Olympic career!

Legend

[@bagelpap]

Nomura is a living legend, there is no doubt about it. But, with all due respect, I don't think the throw against the Italian in the final of Atlanta Olympics was Ippon. Hardly a waza ari. The Italian did't even land on his back.

[@oldhead9494]

yes..that's a strange decision

[@yogevtmax4816]

he was winning anyways but def not ippon just like the one against the korean its wazari at best 100% not ippon but maybe rules were different back then? idk

[@khaledfaiz491]

He already had a wazaari, so perhaps 2nd wazaari

[@leonboot9312]

It was a yuko

In atlanta is yuko o waza ari noooo Ippon 🤔🤔

Taking away nothing whatsoever, painful way to lose for the Korean Judoka as his left toe caught the hem of his right pant leg (3:30)

These throws don't look like ippons to me 🤔

[@svis6888]

because it's 2 waza ari, so it makes a ippon

[@sheon_]

@@svis6888 Then why doesn't the referee say waza-ari awasete ippon? He gave a direct ippon. That's absurd.

[@svis6888]

@@sheon_ I think it's just that he didn't say the second waza ari, but the ippon directly

[@dominus6224]

@@svis6888 which is ridiculous. The second match doesn’t even seem to be worthy of a yuko, let alone wazari. The dude had a full bridge.
