The story
Mark Huizinga won the men's -90kg gold medal in judo at Sydney 2000 on 20 September 2000. The title went to Netherlands, with the competition held at Sydney Convention & Exhibition Centre, Australia.
How it unfolded
Carlos Honorato (Brazil) took silver; Frederic Demontfaucon (France) took bronze; Ruslan Mashurenko (Ukraine) took bronze. Both bronze medallists appear in this event’s final medal standings.
The wider picture
The draw was organised within a single weight category. Judo competitors could win by ippon or by the scoring and penalty system used at these Games. Repechage gave eligible athletes another route to the podium, and the two bronze-medal contests produced two bronze winners. That structure explains why the medal list contains four athletes rather than the three found in most Olympic events.
