Hifumi Abe was coming in as the -175 favorite to win the Men's Half Lightweight Judo 66kg - Tokyo Olympics.
Abe is the current half-lightweight World Champion who rose to prominence after becoming Youth Olympic champion in 2014. He won the Tokyo Grand Slam later that year, at just 17-years-old.
Manuel Lombardo has the second shortest odds, paying $125 for every $100 bet. The Italian judoka is a gold medalist at both the Mediterranean Games and the European Judo Championships. He is also a silver medalist at the World Judo Championships.
Rounding out the field is An Baul at +350 odds and two long shots, Vazha Margvelashvili and Yondonperenlein Baskhüü. They both pay $1500 for every $100 bet.
