Vedat Albayrak third Grand Slam winner ever for Turkey
The category U81kg in Budapest was interesting with a good field of some of the top players, but lacking the top three in the world. With the presence of the world number 4, Vedat Albayrak of Turkey, the world and Olympic medalist Antoine Valois-Fortier (CAN), the reigning Olympic Champion Khasan Khalmurzaev (RUS) and the 2018 World Champion Saeid Mollaei (MGL), the U81kg group was particularly generous to its spectators on the occasion of this grand slam.

Barbara Matic back at the top
Barbara Matic fought herself back into the world top with her gold medal at the Grand Slam in Budapest. The Croatian hope and frontrunner was away for 2.5 years from the podium in the IJF World Tour.

It was more than four years ago since she won a World Tour event and almost five years a gold medal outside her country Croatia. Read more
