Baku Grand Slam winner Sagi MUKI (ISR) won his second successive IJF World Judo Tour gold medal as he was unbeatable in Havana on Saturday. MUKI extinguished the home crowds gold medal hopes as he threw ESTRADA, who finished fifth at the Miami Grand Prix last year, with an emphatic tsurikomi-goshi for ippon after just 31 seconds.
In the first semi-final top seed and world bronze medallist Dirk VAN TICHELT (BEL) was surprised by teenage revelation ESTRADA, who with two shido penalties to his name for passivity, scored ippon from a kuzure-kesa-gatame in a dramatic conclusion which made the young Cuban an instant hero with the home crowd. In the second semi-final MUKI won through against Tbilisi Grand Prix winner Nugzari TATALASHVILI (GEO). Both men had failed to find a spark as they received three shido penalties but the Israeli stormed into action by throwing his opponent for waza-ari and holding him down with yoko-shiho-gatame. TATALASHVILI tapped out to the pin after six seconds.
The first bronze medal was clinched by world number 17 TATALASHVILI who narrowly defeated Baku Grand Slam bronze medallist Marcelo CONTINI (BRA). Both judoka were awarded a shido for passivity and, with no scores registered going into the final minute, the Brazilian received a second shido for going out of the area to separate the rivals at the end of the contest. The second bronze medal was won by former world bronze medallist Musa MOGUSHKOV (RUS) who bested VAN TICHELT by a waza-ari score as the Belgian was forced to come away from Havana empty handed.
