The judoka, who has an Olympic bronze medal under his belt (but in the under-66 kg category), had an almost perfect day, after debuting with victory over Cypriot Kyprianos Andreou, defeating Turkish Umalt Demirel in the round of 16, beating Urunbayar Odgerel, from Mongolia, in quarterfinals, and overcame Canadian Arthur Margelidon in the semifinals. Cargnin’s only setback was precisely in the final, where he lost an ippon to Georgian Lasha Shavdatuashvili, number 1 in the world ranking.
The competition will continue next Sunday (5). In the hierarchy of stages on the circuit, the Grand Slams are second only to the Worlds and the Masters in terms of relevance.
