Judoka Valery Endovitsky told that he was unable to show a solid fight at the FONBET Russian Championship due to low self-confidence, promising to be more relaxed next time.
On Saturday, Endovitsky became champion in the weight category over 100 kg. In the final, he beat Arsen Kadzaev. This is Endovitsky’s second consecutive victory at the Russian Championship: in 2022, in the final of the tournament in Yekaterinburg, he beat Inal Tasoev.
— This is your second victory in the Czech Republic, which was the most difficult?
– The first time the guys were very good, but in the last meeting I had with Inal Tasoev, at that time it was difficult to fight with him, although it is also the case now. It was then a great victory. The second time, you try to be more careful, because everyone is targeting you, since I was the leader.
—How difficult was it today?
— The preliminary meetings were difficult, I beat my opponents in terms of sanctions. At the time, I was even upset, because I wanted to show a brilliant fight, because I was preparing, I wanted to show throws. But it turned out that at times he was unsure of himself. Next time I will be more relaxed.
I would like to go to the European Championships or the Grand Slam stage. I hope they put it somewhere,” Endovitsky told .
The Russian Judo Championship will end on October 1. Live broadcasts of the tournament can be viewed on Match Group television channels, as well as on the matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru websites.
