Ganjzadeh, the Shocking ConclusionAraga shows his mettle in bronze
The over-75kg class is the heaviest weight class in men's kumite and was the last event on the last day of the Olympic karate tournament,
merging the -84kg and +84kg classes of the WKF.
Japan's ace Ryutaro Araga won all of his elimination rounds, but lost to Saudi Arabia's Tareg Hamedi in the semifinals to take the bronze medal.
Hamedi, who defeated Araga to advance to the final, dominated the match with sharp moves in the final,
but the gold medal was handed to Sajad Ganjzadeh in an unexpected ending.
