That was a brilliant start! On the very first day, in his second fight, the Japanese took care of it Ryuju Nagayama (@ judoinside.com) for the first (for him negative) sensation at the Judo World Cup in Budapest. The World Cup third in Tokyo 2019 and leader in the world rankings up to 60 kilos had to face the Azerbaijanis after a bye and a victory in round 3 Karamat Huseynov beaten with waza-ari. Also the insider tip Francisco Garrigos (ESP) had in its opening fight against the Turks Mihrac batteries to fight hard. In contrast to the Japanese, he was able to charge the batteries and make up for a waza-ari deficit. Garrigos won with Ippon for an arm lever. In the end, the European champions won against the French from Lisbon in 2021 Walide Khyar (Victory with Waza-ari) still bronze at the World Championships. Gold went to the Russian Yago Abuladse by an Ippon victory over the Kazakhs Gusman Kyrgyzbayev.
The high favorite was also among women up to 48 kilos Distria Krasniqui stopped. The top seeded Kosovar had to go to the Japanese semi-finals Natsumi Tsunoda give beaten and scratched against Urantsetseg Munkhbat (MGL) after a total of exactly ten minutes of the fight with 3: 2 Shidos also past bronze – only fifth! In the Japanese final, Tsunoda and Ippon beat the junior world champion Wakana Koga by.
