At U70kg there is a competitive field present at the Grand Slam in Antalya. Matic, Pinot, Polling, Gahie, Tsunoda Roustant, Polleres, Rodriguez, Niizoe, Petersen Pollard and of course last week’s Tbilisi Grand Slam winner Teltsidou, make up a terrifying list of possibilities.
This is a list of powerful judoka and whomever faces them has a big job ahead. This is not to say the rest aren’t also strong but to lay it out, that this is a high quality field of formidable fighters, of robustness and above all of staying power. They are resilient, seasoned and have proven that nothing scares them off. They will each fight with everything they have, bringing a psychological element to their game plans. With none of them backing down, there should be fireworks in this category. Following the U70kg group throughout day 2 is likely to pay dividends!
Maybe Japan have sent their own cannon into the field, in the shape of their current Tokyo Grand Slam champion. Whatever the outcome, the winner can be satisfied that their success has pedigree, that’s for sure.
You can all follow it at the Grand Slam in Antalya. Have a look at the participants list of all categories.
