Catherine Beauchemin-Pinard was uncompromising on Saturday on the tatamis of the Tbilisi grand slam, where she had a perfect day to climb to the top of the podium.

The world number one in the under 63 kg category completed her tournament by winning by waza-ari against the Polish Angelika Szymanska, an opponent she had never beaten before.

Beauchemin-Pinard managed to score in the very last minute of the fight, after which her rival increased her attacks to get back into the lead.

The two rivals found themselves on the ground at the end of the duel and Szymanska tried to immobilize the Quebecer with an arm lock, without however being able to achieve an ippon.

Beauchemin-Pinard, who had previously won four fights, including two in overtime, thus signs the fifth grand slam victory of his career.

Also in action for Georgia on Saturday, Arthur Margelidon (-73 kg) and François Gauthier-Drapeau (-81 kg) were both eliminated in the second round in their respective categories.
