Romaric Bouda took the European title in Athens. The Frenchman continued his strong performances from the morning session to beat Ofek Shani of Israel for the gold in the U60kg. The recently naturalized Frenchman achieved ippon with 2.27 minutes to go.
“I am very pleased with my performance. It was a good competition for me and I was well prepared. I knew I had strong opponents, but I told myself if you want to be the best, you have to beat the best. It was actually very motivating for me. Last year, I couldn’t compete, because I didn’t have French citizenship yet. I had citizenship of Burkina Faso”, Bouda explained.
“Ofek is disappointed. He felt good today and then he scored Ippon in the final that didn’t count and we don’t understand why. We want to come back next year and take the gold”, coach Ariel Zeevi said. “He wanted to get the gold for me, to close a circle”, the coach added. Zeevi had competed in Athens at the 2004 Olympic Games and won bronze in the U100kg.
Top seed and 2013 European Cadet bronze medallist Neil MacDonald (GBR) had to settle for another bronze medal. He beat Twan van der Werff (NED). Asim Mamyedov (UKR) claimed the second bronze over Thomas Macrez (FRA).
