00:00 Day three of the Baku Grand Slam supplied yet another incredible display of judo in
00:07 the Azeri capital.
00:09 Children once again turned out in their droves to fill the national gymnastics arena and
00:13 catch a glimpse of their sporting heroes on their path to glory at one of the mainstay
00:18 events of the IJF World Judo Tour.
00:21 There was home interest in the under 90 kilo final as Murad Fatihov took on category stalwart
00:26 Christian Tott of Hungary.
00:28 Almost four minutes into golden score, Fatihov took his chance, countering a pressured Tott
00:32 against the edge of the area to the delight of the crowd.
00:41 The crowd, the audience gave us so much support.
00:44 It's probably thanks to their support that I got this result.
00:47 We've already had three gold medals and we believe that in the next final we'll have
00:51 another medal.
01:00 Farid Gayebov, Azerbaijan Minister of Youth and Sport was on hand to award the medals.
01:06 Gigi Steinhaus and Yulia Korchenko also went to golden score after a tough battle in the
01:10 under 78 kilo class.
01:12 Steinhaus didn't waste any time once there.
01:15 A perfectly timed Kochi Gari in the first exchange swept her opponents off her feet
01:19 and sealed the deal.
01:21 She was awarded her medal by Vladimir Barta, IJF head sport director.
01:28 The golden medal was some time ago.
01:31 So it's really good for my confidence to show everybody that I can also take home a gold
01:39 medal.
01:40 The people really like when you throw and when you win.
01:43 So that's actually nice.
01:47 In the under 100 kilo category, world number one Ilya Sulimanidze didn't waste any time
01:51 securing top spot on the podium.
01:53 A sacrifice technique, neatly taking Piotr Kudschera over for the Ipan.
01:58 He was awarded his medal by Harvest Group CEO Almaz Arsinov.
02:04 In the over 78 kilo class, Roman Diko took the title with a tactical win in the final
02:09 against Italy's Asietavano.
02:11 The medals were awarded by Mohamed Meridja, IJF education and coaching director.
02:18 In the over 100 kilo category, Valerian Dovitskiy ended the event in style, fabulously throwing
02:23 Jamal Gamzatkanov for an emphatic Ipan.
02:27 The medals were awarded by Kiyong Joon, IJF head referee director.
02:38 Once again, Adzeri Judoka put on a show for the Raukos home crowd, showing their passion
02:43 and commitment to judo.
02:45 With the conclusion of this year's Grand Slam, the World Judo Tour bids a fond farewell to
02:50 the land of fire.
02:51 Until next time, when judo returns in Tashkent.
