At the Cadet World Championships in Zagreb the unrelated Mamishov and Mamishov became the 1 and 2 U50kg. For Mahammad Mamishov it was expected as he was the number one, sitting at the top of the sheet at the beginning of the day but Nihad Mamishov was a big surprise to all, sweeping through the bottom half of the draw, including putting the number 2 seed, Bence Galo (HUN) out of the tournament.

European cadet champion Mahammad Mamishov may not have expected his teammate in front of him in his medal fight, but there he was and there would be no opposition to present more of a threat, as they know each other so well. In fact, 8 seconds into golden score, it was Nohad who countered beautifully for waza-ari. Mahammad Mamishov is European Cadet champion but Nihad Mamishov is on top of the world.

The first bronze medal was contested by Francesco Crociani (ITA) and Nurbol Askar (KAZ) and was decided in golden score when the Italian countered a missed attack, rolling the Kazakh on to his side for waza-ari.

The second bronze at U50 kg went to Georgia. Choijiljav (MGL) did everything he could throughout the contest but a small mistake and a little counter from Bachoshvili were enough to secure the result, perhaps against the run of play.
