The final of the men’s U100kg at the Grand Slam in Tokyo consisted of the the current world champion Haga Ryunosuke (JPN) and Cho Guham (KOR), the defending Tokyo Grand Slam gold medalist from last year. The World Champion Haga was the favourite in advance to win this event and met the expectations of his reputation.
At the end of the five minutes, nothing else than penalties were written on the scoreboard, three for Cho and only two for Haga, giving the first grand slam gold medal to Haga, who confirms his supremacy of the category since the world championships.
The first bronze medal fight was a match of strong men as Beka Gviniashvili (GEO) faced Cyrille Maret (FRA). After half of the fight, Maret was already penalized two times, looking incapable of changing rhythm, when he finally scored a first yuko with his favorite o-soto-gari turned into a arai-makikomi. Coming from the -90kg weight category, Gviniashvili had a tough day fighting in the upper category and the Georgian looked really tired at the end, and finally Maret applied an arm-lock for ippon.
The second bronze medal fight concluded in the favor of Elmar Gasimov (AZE) against Maxim Rakov (KAZ), the only one shido difference being enough to attribute the bronze medal.
