Russian judoka David Karapetyan told that a bronze medal at the Tokyo Grand Slam tournament would give him experience that would allow him to succeed in the future.
In the fight for third place in the weight category up to 81 kg, the 23-year-old Russian defeated Canadian François Gautier-Drapeau.
“Like any athlete with big ambitions, I always want to win. But in fact, I have learned to learn something valuable from defeats: experience. Today’s medal will teach me a lot for new victories,” Karapetyan said on the air of the program “Everyone for the match!”.
Russians compete in Japan as neutral athletes.
