After the match started, both received one shido (penalty) each at 1 minute and 35 seconds, and 30 seconds before the end of the match, Lee conceded a waza-ari from an uchi-mata throw. Despite launching an all-out attack in the remaining time, he ultimately lost.



Lee Ha-rim is a lightweight judo ace who won a bronze medal at the 2018 Jakarta-Palembang Asian Games and a bronze medal at the 2023 World Championships, and rose to No. 1 in the International Judo Federation (IJF) world rankings in July (currently No. 3).
