Russia has a reputation in the heavyweight category. At home at the Grand Slam of Tyumen Andrey Volkov showed that Russia belongs to the world top defeating their Japanese rivals.
Junior World Championships bronze medallist Ogawa Yusei of Japan, the son of ‘Captain Hustle’ Ogawa Naoya, Barcelona 1992 Olympic silver medallist and four-time world champion – had to settle for silver on his Grand Slam debut as two-time Grand Slam bronze medallist Andrey Volkov of Russia won his first Grand Slam gold medal to send the crowd home happy. Volkov wasted little time as he sent Ogawa over for a waza-ari score and secured the osaekomi for 15 seconds and the Japanese succumb to the yoko-shiho-gatame.
The first bronze medal was won by former Orenburg European Cup bronze medallist Anton Brachev (RUS) who conquered Soslan Bostanov (RUS) by a yuko which was the only score in the contest. The second and last bronze medal fight of the tournament opposed two-time All Japan Openweight Championships winner Ojitani Takeshi (JPN) who used his bulk to pin down Wroclaw Junior European Cup silver medallist Nodar Machutadze (UKR) with a kami-shiho-gatame for 20 seconds and ippon.
