Biography
Nakamura was born in
Kwak Dae-Sung of South Korea to receive a gold medal.[2]
Both Nakamura and Kwak were unaggressive throughout the match, and Kwak gained a lead in points after a warning was issued to Nakamura for inactivity. However, Kwak was penalized in turn for an illegal move with only three seconds remaining in the match, and Nakamura won the gold medal with a 2-1 decision in his favor.
Nakamura won several more tournaments after his first trip to the Olympics, most notably a gold medal at the
Kano Jigoro Cup
in 2003. He began working as an instructor for the Asahi Kasei judo team in 2004, and has served as a coach for the All-Japan junior and senior teams.
