Ghanaian judoka Kwadjo Anani's journey at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games came to a crashing end after he lost to South Korea's Gwak Don-Han in the 90kg division.

The 21-year-old was no match for the 29-year-old Don-Han, who wasted no time in finishing the Ghanaian.

Anani's defeat started by the Ippon in 1:50 seconds, before giving up after two Waza-aris in less than two minutes of the five minute fight.

The Ghana Olympic Committee posted after the fight, "Unfortunately Judoka Kwadwo Anani lost to a more experienced opponent from South Korea. He is young and will learn from this experience to bounce back."

This was Kwadjo Anani's first Olympic Games after winning silver at the African Championship.

His opponent was more experience and currently holds the 2020 IJF Gold.

Meanwhile, on Wednesday July 28, there was good news for Ghana Boxing after youngster Samuel Takyi defeated Caicedo Pachito of Ecuador to advance to the last 8 of the welterweight division.

Later on the day, Shakul Samed will fight Turkey's Malkam Bayram.
