At the opening day of the Paralympic Games in Tokyo Uzbekistan’s Uchkun Kuranbaev’s match with Spain’s Sergio Ibanez went to Golden Score before the Uzbek managed just to tip the scales in his favour. The gold is Kuranbaev’s first major medal and his country’s first of Tokyo 2020.

The men’s up to 66kg featured a delighted home crowd following a fantastic ippon for Japanese 21-year-old Yujiro Seto to win bronze.

Azerbaijan’s Namig Abasli secured the second bronze against Ukraine’s Paralympic bronze medallist Davyd Khorava.
