Giorgi Beriashvili and Onise Saneblidze reached the final at the Grand Slam in Tbilisi on Sunday for men U100kg. To be certain of adding another gold to the official medal table and allow the public to enjoy a stress-free fight, knowing that the country's anthem would sound at the end. Along the way were the Uzbek Otabek Turaboev and the Georgian Ilia Sulamanidze, from whom much more was expected.

Saneblidze disposed of Turaboev with amazing ease. Beriashvili had a more complicated road against Sulamanidze. Only when the referee awarded both two shido did Beriashvili go on the attack, scoring ippon.

Saneblidze was great but first he slipped and fell to the ground. Then he got up, attacked with a spectacular ura-nage and landed Beriashvili with a crash to the madness of the crowd; all that in 19 seconds.

Turaboev successfully fought for bronze by defeating Kazakh Aibek Serikbayek. German Daniel Herbst had to dance with Sulamanidze and you already know that Georgian rock and roll is not made for beginners. It seems that Herbst has learned quickly. The German won by strangulation and snatched a medal from Georgia that some took for granted ahead of time.
