The final of the Grand Prix in Samsun opposed Christopher Voelk (GER) and Rustam Orujov (AZE). The five minutes were not enough to decide the winner and both athletes entered the Golden score still uncertain about the final results, when Voelk launched an unexpected tsuri-goshi for a superb ippon.
In the men’s -73kg, the bronze medallist of last week’s Tbilisi Grand Prix Zebeda REKHVIASHVILI (GEO), was the favorite of the competition but he was immediately defeated by the finalist of the day in the first half of the draw, the German Christopher Voelk. After this first win Voelk eliminated Yertugan Torenov (KAZ) and the Olympic silver medallist Miklos Ungvari (HUN) by penalties.
The second half of the draw was dominated by Rustam ORUJOV (AZE), winner of last year’s Baku Grand Slam. In the semifinal he reduced the chance of the Turkish fighter, Hasan VANLIOGLU (TUR), to enter the final and ensure a news medal for the local delegation.
The first bronze medal fight opposed Volodymyr SOROKA (UKR) and Hasan VANLIOGLU (TUR). After 50 seconds of fight, VANLIOGLU launched the first strong attack with a powerful ko-soto-gari for waza-ari, confirmed by the video refereeing. That is the exact moment when the public started to cheer for its local fighter. But it was also the time that SOROKA chose to score waza-ari with tani-otoshi. Despite the high rhythm, the Ukrainian was penalized two times, and VANLIOGLU could keep this little difference to win the second bronze medal for Turkey during the competition.
The second bronze medal bout saw Tommy MACIAS (SWE) and Miklos UNGVARI (HUN), fight for a place on the podium. After three minutes, only penalties were visible on the scoreboard, but during a short ground working session, UNGVARI, found a tiny opportunity to catch MACIAS with an immobilization for ippon.
