Russian judoka Roman Dontsov is happy that his team “Ural – Western Siberia” reached the final of the Continental Judo League.
On Saturday, the final of the Continental Judo League took place at the International Sambo Center. The silver medalist was the Ural – West Siberia team from Yekaterinburg. Dontsov represented the team in the weight category up to 90 kg. In the final match he lost to Turpal Tepkaev (Akhmat, Grozny).
— Until the final, I was satisfied with my performance. In the final, he lost to an opponent weighing much less. They released an athlete in the weight category up to 81 kg. He was faster and I couldn’t keep up with him, so I gave in. But overall the team competed well, we won a series of bronze medals. In this tournament we reached the final for the first time, I’m happy about that, we were able to win gold, but it didn’t work out. There are no questions about the judgment, Valera (Endovitsky) just didn’t push a little. The judges know better whether he fell on the score or not. Personally, I didn’t see this moment well. I am preparing to participate in the Russian Cup in Nizhny Novgorod. I am preparing well for the start, the task is to take first place,” Dontsov told .
