Sakura Motoki added to Japanese success on the mat on Saturday, winning the women's 62kg gold against Ukrainian Iryna Koliadenko. Georgian Geno Petriashvili got his hands on the gold medal he has long craved, winning the men's 125kg division on the penultimate day of competition. 

Paris 2024 might be coming to an end, but there is plenty more action on the mat before the closing ceremony on Sunday. It starts with the men's freestyle 65kg repechage. Kotaro Kiyooka and Rahman Amouzad are set to meet in the final of that division later in the day. The men's 97kg final is going to be between Givi Matcharashvili and Akhmed Tazhudinov. There are also women's titles to be decided. Kennedy Alexis Blades of the USA and Yuka Kagami will finish all the wrestling from the Games when they battle for the women's 76kg title. The Japanese is by far the more experienced, with the American just 20 years old. There will be bronze medal bouts in all the categories too.
