Mikhail Pulyaev of Russia is the new wonderboy of Russia. After a strong generation with Musa Mogushkov and Alim Gadanov in the previous Olympic cycle, now Pulyaev is too hot to handle. The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix winner of Russia defeated the ever-explosive Georgii Zantaraia to win -66kg gold. The Russian threw with a tai-otoshi for waza-ari and followed up with a kesure-kesa-gatame hold down for wazari-awasette-ippon.
In the first semi-final Pulyaev surged past World Championships bronze medallist Fukuoka Masaaki by ippon while in the second semi-final Loic Korval came undone against world bronze medallist Zantaraia who edged through on shido penalties.
The first bronze medal was won by Loic Korval who forced Nijat Shikhalizada to submit with just a minute remaining. The second bronze medal was won by Japan's Fukuoka who just did enough to hold off 2013 Paris Grand Slam winner David Larose and protect his slender yuko advantage to grace the medal podium.
