LAHORE: Pakistan judoka Shah Hussain Shah lost his fight against Egypt’s Darwish Ramadan in the -100 kilogramme judo competition of the Tokyo Olympics in Tokyo on Thursday. Shah Hussain is the son of Hussain Shah, who won Pakistan a bronze medal at the 1998 Seoul Olympics. Egypt’s Darwish, who is world number 13 defeated Shah Hussain in the match and qualified for the next round. The Pakistani judoka’s Olympics journey ended after he lost his first fight. This was the second time that he was featuring in the Olympics – Shah Hussain made a poor debut in 2016 in the Rio Olympic Games when he was undone by Ukraine’s Artem Bloshenko in the second round. It is pertinent to mention here that Shah Hussain missed a few major events before the Olympics because of the travel issues created by COVID-19. Shah Hussain’s close friend and training partner Nagase Takanori of Japan the other day won gold in the -81 kilogramme competition.
