Career
Douillet performed Uchi Mata but over-rotated and landed on his back. Shinohara fell to the mat as well. One judge had ruled for Shinohara, while the other two ruled for Douillet.
However, at a later press conference, Shinohara expressed that he was not dissatisfied with the judgment, stating, "I lost because I was weak. Douillet was strong."
As of 2007, Shinohara coaches judo at his alma mater, Tenri University, where he previously studied as an undergraduate.
