The Japanese judoka scored an ippon to take the win.With Tomita losing to Brazil's Beatriz Souza in the semi-finals, the 24-year-old Tulika also crashed out of repechage contention, an olympics.com report said.Tulika was the only Indian competing at the World Judo Championships 2022 and she had qualified for the event based on her world ranking of 92.
