Russian judoka Danil Lavrentyev believes that he was stronger than his opponent in the final of the European Championship, but was defeated due to tactical errors.
On Friday, Lavrentiev won silver at the European Championships in Zagreb, losing in the final in the weight category up to 73 kg to Azerbaijan’s Hedayat Heydarov.
– I wish it was better. I think I was stronger in the final, but again I lost tactically, just like in the last start in Tashkent. Heidarov is a very serious opponent; he has not lost five tournaments in a row. I cannot say that I am physically or functionally inferior. There are errors in the speed of attacks, I am stagnating a little,” Lavrentiev said on .
The European Championship will end on April 27. The Russians are participating in the tournament in neutral status.
