Olympic champions Yui Susaki and Yuka Kagami won Asian Games titles in their first appearances at the continental multi-sport event, extending host Japan's perfect start in the women's wrestling finals.

Susaki completed the 50kg competition with a 10-0 victory over DPR Korea's Kim Song Hyang. Kagami, returning to international competition after a knee injury, beat Kazakhstan's Elmira Syzdykova 5-1 in the 76kg final.

Their victories gave Japan four gold medals from the first four women's wrestling categories contested in Nagoya.
