Kawai sisters win gold, becoming the first sisters to win Olympic wrestling gold.
(pictured a year or two ago with some j-pop-tart they stan)
Having watched Yukako (the younger/bigger) for a few years, she usually seemed better than her opponents, but would then make a calamitous mistake that lead to her losing (often by pin); the very first match I saw her in being a particularly funny case, at the junior worlds (2017) where she racked up a 13-4 lead against a Russian opponent who was injured and in tears, only to get suckered, pinned, and not medal. But I had a feeling by the time of the Olympics, she might have those mistakes more under control and win her first international gold (excepting one u23 title), and she did.
With that in mind, and also knowing her sister has been the most dominant female wrestler over the last ~5 years, I like her pre-event quote on her Olympic athlete bio page:
"I know that I'm not that talented. I think I've come this far by continuing to work steadily. I will do my best as a tortoise, as I can't become a hare."
(also the quotes from John Smith on commentary, that she seems 'very fit' with 'strong legs').
There've been quite a few brother teams winning world championships together but usually not quite Olympics:
Beloglazovs both won in 1980 (but the capitalist running-dog lackies of the west boycotted those games)
Schultzes in 1984 (but the godless commies of the east boycotted those games)
any others?
Peterson bros in 1972 won a gold and a silver
Saitievs didn't make it at the same games funnily enough - the year Adam won, happened to be that one Olympics where Buvaisar infamously crashed and burned against Slay...
It's a sport where it's very helpful to have a sibling you can grow up with pounding each other behind the barn...
