Spencer Lee had a dog fight on his hands in his final match against Japan’s Rei Higuchi, but ultimately came up short in his bid to capture a gold medal in his first Olympics.
The former Iowa standout had been dominant through the early rounds but met his match in Higuchi, who displayed similar dominance to punch his ticket to the gold medal match. Ultimately it was Higuchi’s speed that countered Lee’s power to win the match 4-2 and clinch the gold for Japan.
