At the division U66kg, the category was once again dominated by two countries: Japan and France. Ryoma Tanaka and Taikoh Fujisaka competed for gold in the final. After a very close match, Ryoma Tanaka, a member of Tsukuba University, produced a purely Japanese style move with utsuri-goshi, to win with a spectacular ippon.
Orlando Cazorla (FRA) produced a massive o-goshi against the Mongolian Narmandakh Bayanmunkh to win bronze, while Walide Khyar completed the podium for team France after pushing Denis Vieru (MDL) to the limit in a long and stressful golden score. The Moldovan competitor was disqualified after he dived on the head, a lesson to learn for the future. The rules are really strict when it comes to diving on the head; it’s all about safety.
