Osaka Grand Slam bronze medallist Kim, who finished seventh at Rio 2016 Olympics, added a touch of class to proceedings in the men’s lightest weight category as he claimed his fifth Grand Prix crown with a sensational hane-goshi for ippon in his first competition of the year.
In the first semi-final Ekaterinburg Grand Slam bronze medallist Albert Oguzov (RUS) fell to Kim by ippon while in the second semi-final Yang defeated former Qingdao Grand Prix winner Choi In Hyuk (KOR) by a waza-ari score in golden score.
The first bronze medal was won by Choi who outworked world number 60 Kim Yong Gwon (PRK) on his way to victory by a waza-ari score from an off balance attack after showing for a ippon-seoi-nage.
The second bronze medal went to Oguzov who wrapped up a convincing win at the halfway point with two waza-ari scores as Tel Aviv Grand Prix bronze medallist Cedric Revol (FRA) was overwhelmed from start to finish.
