The story
Japan’s Ryoko Tamura won Olympic judo gold at Sydney 2000. The International Judo Federation’s results record lists first place at the Games on 16 September.
How it unfolded
The federation’s current profile appears under her later name, Ryoko Tani. Linking the two names helps readers find the historical result without mistaking them for different athletes.
The wider picture
The Olympic classification belongs to the Sydney edition rather than her later Athens title. The athlete results and competition archive provide the reference points for tracing the achievement within judo’s international programme.
