Kaori Icho won wrestling's 63-kilogram freestyle division Wednesday at the London Games, becoming the first Japanese woman to capture the same event in three straights Olympics.
Icho beat Ruixue Jing of China 3-0, 2-0, her latest victory of a 72-match winning streak. She now owns the only three Olympic golds ever awarded at 63 kilograms.
A forfeit at the 2007 Asian championships is the only blemish on Icho's record since losing to American Sara McMann in 2003.
