In the women’s -52kg category, Japan’s Uta Abe claimed her 12th Grand Slam title in Ulaanbaatar. IJF reporting notes that winning 12 titles from 14 Grand Slam appearances is a rare record in women’s judo.
The IJF also noted that Abe’s two non-winning Grand Slam outings ended in silver, and that defeats have been exceptionally rare across her international career. After her setback at Paris 2024, this return again showed strong mental resilience.
Her sights are now set on the 2026 World Judo Championships in Baku and LA28. For Asian judo, Abe’s comeback and consistency remain one of the most important stories in the women’s lightweight divisions.

女子 -52 公斤，日本的阿部詩在烏蘭巴托取得個人第 12 個大滿貫冠軍。IJF 報道指，她在 14 次大滿貫出賽中贏得 12 次冠軍，是女子柔道極少見的紀錄。
IJF 亦提到，阿部詩在其餘兩次大滿貫只得銀牌，整個國際賽生涯敗仗極少。經歷巴黎 2024 的失利後，她今次回歸再次顯示極強心理韌性。
她的目標已經放向 2026 巴庫世界柔道錦標賽及 LA28。對亞洲柔道而言，阿部詩的復出與穩定性，仍然是女子輕量級最值得注目的故事之一。
