Alejandro Martínez, absolute runner-up in judo at the Andalusian Championship – Sports – Ceuta al Día

The mackerel sport shines again far from our city: the judoka Alejandro Martínez, from the USHIRO Club, has climbed this Saturday to the podium of the Andalusian Judo Championship, held in the municipality of La Línea.

Martínez has won the silver medal after beating a total of three opponents in the -81 kg category of the senior category, which was attended by a total of eighteen athletes.

The first of the aforementioned fights was against Francisco Gómez, from the Sevillian Club El Bosque. Martínez took the victory after immobilizing his rival by means of a double ‘waza-ari’ at the minute of starting.

In the second fight, the man from Ceuta faced Salvador Callejas, who was imposed by ‘ippon’ after what he himself described as “good ground work”. “I did not wait for the referee to declare ‘mate’, he said.

Next, the judoka faced Darío Soriano, from Club Tadeo, who currently holds first place in the national ranking in the cadet category. The fight ended ten seconds after starting thanks to a powerful ‘ura nage’ with which the mackerel managed to beat his opponent.

In the final phase, Alejandro has crossed paths with Theo Pino, one of the favorites to win the tournament. Despite the effort, Martínez has not been able to beat his rival, who was proclaimed champion by double ‘waza-ari’ with just over a minute to go before the fight ended.
