  "account": "Chinese judoka Tang Jing was disqualified from the quarter-finals of the Asian Games following an incident where it appeared she bit the arm of her Japanese opponent, Rin Maeda. The women's -70kg bout took place in Nagoya, resulting in Tang's disqualification for unsportsmanlike behaviour. Maeda moved on to win the event overall. After Tang was separated from a hold in the match, Maeda revealed a bite mark on her left forearm, just above the wrist. The referee's review of the incident led to Tang's disqualification. Maeda's coach, Maki Tsukada, noted the clear bite mark, stating it was bleeding significantly. Tang, 31, initially contested the decision but later shook hands with Maeda and left the competition without speaking to the media. Maeda, 21, described the bite as unremarkable, stating she was unaware of the consequences after speaking with the referee. She added that the adrenaline from the match took her mind off the pain.",
