Uta Abe is the sister of current 66 kg standout judoka, and four-times world champion, Hifumi Abe.[4]
Judo careeredit
Abe became the youngest ever Judoka to win an IJF (International Judo Federation) Grand Prix, when she captured first place at the Düsseldorf Grand Prix in February 2017.[5]
She participated at the 2018 World Judo Championships in Baku, Azerbaijan and won her first world title at 18 years of age, making her the third-youngest Judoka to ever capture a senior World title.[6] Abe firstly defeated Polish judoka, Karolina Pienkowska and Fabienne Kocher of Switzerland. She then defeated Jessica Pereira of Brazil and in the semi-finals she defeated Amandine Buchard of France in under 40 seconds, by armlock to make her way into the finals. In the finals, Abe was matched with teammate and former-world champion Ai Shishime,[7] and defeated Shishime with a spectacular uchi-mata in golden score for ippon.[8]
In 2021, Abe won the gold medal at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics on the same day that her older brother Hifumi won the gold medal in his judo division.[9]
