At the 2012 Summer Olympics in Beijing, he fought in the category of up to 66 kilograms ( welterweight ). The tournament was attended by 19 people. The tournament was held according to the system with elimination after the defeat with comforting fights. The wrestlers by lot were divided into two groups, in the first group there were eight athletes who started the fight from the 1/8 finals, in the second group there were eleven, of which five started the fight from the 1/8 finals, and six wrestlers held qualifying meetings for the right to get into 1 / 8 finals. Those athletes who did not lose a single fight went to the finals, where they played the first and second places. The wrestlers who lost to the finalists began to fight in the consolation tournament, according to the results of which two bronze medalists were determined, one in each group. In other words, the wrestler, having lost the fight in any round of the tournament, did not immediately drop out, but expected the results of the meeting of his winner in the next round. For example, the wrestler lost in 1/8, his winner reached the quarter-finals. If his winner in the quarter finals lost, then the wrestler dropped out immediately, and his winner went to a comforting tournament. If his winner in the quarter finals won again, then the wrestler met in a comforting meeting with the loser in the quarter finals and so on. Tatsuhiro Yonemitsu won all meetings and brought Japan the first gold medal in the Olympic Games in wrestling since 1988.
