russian judoka Inal Tasoev on “”, said he was confident of his victory at the Grand Slam tournament stadium in Ulaanbaatar.
In Sunday’s final, Tasoev beat the South Korean representative with a vazari throw and a painful hold. The Grand Slam tournament in the capital of Mongolia ended on Sunday. Russian athletes competed in neutral status.
– I should not have gone to this tournament, I consulted the coaches and we decided that I would still participate. They advised me to take care of myself. I insisted, I said I wanted to fight. I felt like I could win the tournament. Thank God, even in this form I managed to win a gold medal. I have room to grow.
I was happy that they awarded the second gold medal. Yes, world champion, everyone knows it, I have nothing to be ashamed of, but I want to win the next world championship for myself. I looked inside myself and looked for the error in me. I hope that at the next world championship I will win gold and no one will have any questions,” Tasoev said on All for the Match! on the channel.
Earlier, the International Judo Federation (IJF) reviewed the results of the final match of the World Championship in the over 100 kg category, in which Tasoev lost to three-time French Olympic champion Teddy Riner. In extra time, the Russian laid the opponent on his back, but the attack was unmarked. The IJF conceded the error, stating that “points for Tasoev’s counterattack could have been awarded”, and ended up awarding gold to Tasoev and Riner in that fight. The world championship took place in May in Doha.
