Japan made the right choice in their selection taking two hotshots two Ljubljana. Both showed a spectacular technique and Sho Tateyama and Yuki Hashiguchi climbed two spots compared to the 2011 edition in Cape Town where he won bronze and Sho Tateyama won the world title. Now it was different and Hashiguchi led from the start and only build out his lead with the ticking clock and didn’t gave the gold away.

Adrian Gomboc won the bronze medal for the home country Slovenia in his match against Serbian talent Ilja Ciganovic who won bronze at the Junior Europeans but conceded two penalties against Gomboc. Jeremy Moreira of France crowned a great day with a bronze medal. He lost against Ciganovic but came back and overcame Houd Zourdani (ALG) for bronze.
