Russian judoist Matvey Kanikovsky, after winning the Portuguese Grand Prix, said on that he was not in the best shape during the competition, but his endurance helped him win gold.
Kanikovsky, competing in the weight category up to 100 kg, defeated in the final the representative of Spain, two-time world champion Nikoloz Sherazadishvili.
— I think I’m not at the top of my game right now. Many things went wrong, but my endurance during the competition did not disappoint me. I felt good functionally, but the technical and tactical aspects were a little behind,” Kanikovsky said on .
Russian judokas participate in tournaments under the auspices of the International Judo Federation with a neutral status.
