JUDO - 60 kg - 66 kg final block man | Tbilisi Grand Slam 2025 #JUDO #ippon

male and female And they've had a much longer more established female team than many of the emerging nations that we talk about It's balanced, isn't it if you think about it? Yes, the georgians having to work very hard on their female, um Uh program But um teams like obviously france And great britain mongolia germany. They've they've got strong male and female japan as well, of course I think it was 2009 the uh, they won their first world championships mongolia in men and women and Yeah, the men's was Yeah I think 2013 I think for for the ladies as well You're going to come up with it, aren't you? Yes They had a win at 48 and then pretty quickly after that they had a win at 57 as well So they weren't um They weren't short in their in their development Now and it's gone from strength to strength that's for sure I think that was Yeah, I remember it clearly we were we were commentating and then it was doge doge suran sumia This is real opposing styles as well, isn't it? I I jerry has his own particular style but very effective and I think tavern finding it difficult to cope with it Oh, that wasn't far off there, uh a nice little uh, dh barai, uh taking Hank tavern down onto his side Well, it was almost um, did he did he do it with the hands so far off was it So, uh subhumi geishi almost was he almost I think if the foot had just made contact there he would have had to score Really close for that one as well there jarring Have a look at the hands. He starts off with the uchi mata then the kochi gary and then The hands almost finished it off, but the power of van diven there to come up left against right very left jarring And he's got a second shido for hank diven Just from his kamakata And his awkward stance And the attacking as well, I mean he's attacking well Which matter oh that was so close Actually, I think if it had persisted in the uchi mata there he might have been successful He would certainly have unsettled him a little bit more and made that last effort with the koichi on the way down giving more of a possibility, but Bailed early Now he's going to go in needs to get the leg in needs to go for it. I mean that uchi mata will do it Keep shaping for that and setting him up, but they're not launching Oh nice one Good attack there hank diven Yeah, he was brave, wasn't he? Yeah went for it He's looking to change the flank here jarring he's just kind of tempted to latch around that Front leg and he got he got to be really careful with that especially especially opposite stance Who did we see krasniki came unstuck didn't she she did did exactly that And got thrown for ipon and that was oi wasn't it of japan did that even score between Charing and ink taiwan They both made reasonable efforts Yes And I think that it's going to be the one that takes that little bit of a chance now, isn't it? Somebody's got to be a little bit more more brave here Just look at that a little bit reserved London friendly It wasn't anything to do with a missed Weigh-in or a stomach bug he had a hand injury. Is that right? Couldn't take part? Cast on his right hand Just that little bit tentative I'm not I think it's kind of what the problem because he's scared of the sake she And yeah, exactly. That's just what he should be doing exactly what they're saying is is what we agree with Yeah, nobody gets that hand on just push that down break that and regrip And then throw him for ipon it's as easy as that they've worked it out It's going to go in again He likes that arm over the top jerry Oh, and that was a good Attack there for mcdiven Not far off that was a good tomanagi double stab Now he's got a fire back coach is saying that as well That was a good double one, wasn't it? There's the first then left foot in then the right foot goes in Changes the direction. He wasn't finished was he? Two kilos a piece now Just a little bit off the pace and picking up that second penalty a couple of times uh, i've started to come up here and Climbing on the back is not the thing you do You just don't do that because then they can turn it against you Oh now then Good opportunity for there was it came off the floor now, can he tie it up? And this is the stage where he's uh Is he going to go for it because it's going to be really tiring if he doesn't get that out And he's uh, he's grapevine the leg there. He tied them They're going to see about that grapevine but the leg Maybe just to see if that was a score or not, you know, because it's still at the moment well, but Was there a hesitation? going in Maybe that's what they're trying to assess as to whether there was too much time Before he actually came in for the throw he might give it. Yeah So jarring gets it with the sumigashi So it was still game off Cuban and could be dangerous. We saw him throwing Was it jonathan vexler? or ipon in the Yeah contest. Yeah, he's got some really good nice technique Opens up the account there sharon And he's not letting him up either And as he actually says well i've had enough of that Let me get my head get my head up That wasn't far off he was almost connected in there for that cnig then Big arm over we see that so often he's done it again And he's going to get a second cheeto for that. I think sharon. He just literally dropped Does he no he doesn't? Well There's different ways you can look at that. And so the referee says well magi has philly's just looking for the penalty for his opponent Not the way to win. You have to earn it so Away they go again Nice change of direction koichi. Gary I haven't seen that from him before We've seen a lot of these haven't we they uh, pull pull on don't they they pull it get the action reaction? And then going for the koichi. Gary There was a beauty by uh, tushish villi at the last event Well, I was talking to uh, some of a couple of the georgian, uh Coaches and they said uh, oh today's going to be great, but you wait till sunday It's taken off it's just taking it off Wave that one. Oh good attack again by sharon Yeah, I mean right the way underneath but uh, no sleeve So, uh, it's one of the problems going right to left or left to right If you haven't got the sleeve Oh this time he gets away with it a bit more elevation The great koga used to get away with it, but he used to elevate them towards the ceiling so no penalties now for going onto the head and then Turning off the technique Force ashido here when he gets back up. He's the aggressor That wasn't that clever was It's not what I had in mind That's a tough one first, uh bronze medal match in the under 60 kilos category Oh, he looked to me as if he broke that broke that off then And he was showing every sign of about Ready to break it off Still anybody's match. We haven't seen a golden score yet saw plenty of golden scores in the earlier rounds, but Oh now then. Oh, is it gonna be? It wasn't far off was it well straight into the attack there from the hajime and now he's in for the shimmy waza Oh, he got it. He got the koshi jimmy Majestically then 265 in the world rankings that's going to go up by about 150. I would have thought there's the world champion there to tell us really Oh, so now they're going to have a look to see how he got into it Did he pick him up off the floor I I think that's what they're asking Was there anything in the leg that put him put him down he's in the process of a satemi was a hit whatever it is Yeah, you know if he hooks his leg in is that enough to claim a score And then it goes into newasa where where there is the shimmy waza Yeah, this will be an interesting one ipon. No Azari for white. Yeah. Wow Well, that's why he looked up. Wasn't it? Yeah so Rather than matthias billy then getting it We've uh had a complete turn around there and I have to say I can't wait to see it back in slow motion. So He came up here during the break And he said he couldn't believe that he just kept coming coming coming. He said He thought that he would make a mistake. He thought that vexel was going to make a mistake Just as it came to the end of regulation time And then he was absolutely sure that he would make this mistake in golden score He just didn't realize it would take him 12 minutes to make it He just kept coming on didn't he like a steam train? But you know, he rescued it semi-final went according to plan and uh, here he is now. He's had plenty of rest So, uh, hopefully he'll be thinking Hope we don't go into golden score sumigashi there and he opens up the account against augusto I just landed a little bit on that awkwardly on that arm I could say Came in this morning as the number one seed so on course For living up to top billing It's a Slightly unusual that they've already got the flags up for the awarding ceremony for the 48 kilo category because if he if he looks up You'll see that it's got um A freight flag flying up there somewhere maybe spur him on a little bit To do a bit better Well, I think this particular contest where people like mckinsey is is to get rid of the Not the cobwebs off and I think that's what he's done all the way through the day And I hold up a really hard day Yes getting to the final especially especially in tbilisi Come here where you were They were born and spent the first few years A little bit of judo here when he left there when he was 10 or 11 the rest of the polishing took place in france But he's always well received here Well, it's up to augusto now to start to take the initiative that's a good category may still driving Landing himself in a bit of trouble there He was almost in the position for a hold down there augusto. Look at the drive He gets from this category. He goes once twice three times and then keeps on pushing And he almost lands in trouble there just manages to bring the feet up Well, this is uh, that's possibility there of a shido for just dropping there without any Movement is he going to get it? No, he's not so There's the uh possibility of oh, no, he is going to get it. So They're going to be strict on it I said at the beginning I think yeah, maybe That rule has to be the same hasn't it? It's got to be the same in the early rounds as it is in the finals the application Of penalties and you don't want to see penalties if possible, but He's having a few problems with that shoulder augusto That was better from augusto, wasn't it? They had movement on that terminology Looking for the shimmy was up It's unusual for brazilian to be that a little bit untidy at that because it was there Falling away from them and really couldn't he was you know says the catch Yeah, if you if you want it then you you've got to make sure that you catch it pretty fairly quick The application has to be like lightning really Starting to come back into this, isn't it? Augusto For the same techniques these two the score is going to be required For this one Each the kids eight Well, if he wanted map time, uh mckinsey he's he's had it and he's getting it Oh nice, oh dear remember one score now will do it That was as close as wasn't it there from augusto right away underneath there driving and almost there Gets the second stab at it Of his three contests leading up To this mckinsey hasn't finished one Before time We've either gone to time. That was the semi-final with enk tiger for 12 minutes with fexler four minutes and 19 seconds With Dada, silly So here is another one Testing his fitness levels Well, yeah, it is a test of his fitness levels, but He's coming through it. I have to say I think his experience and his digging factor Is taking him through? Looking for the koshi Augusto won't want to get involved in anything too long. He'd like to finish this Same goes for mckinsey Yeah, I mean at this stage now there must be just hoping and praying for something to happen How much matter this time augusto Well, I don't even know if it would be true that the longer it goes into golden score the better it looks for augusto, I think The way that we saw mckinsey to dig in and look for his Uh extra Boost, I mean he seems to find something his experience takes him through Oh, yes, that's it and he's done it again mckinsey has done it again And augusto went for it there Very low seatoshi there and tanyo toshi To finish it off great counter there by mckinsey President of the french judo federation and all the crowd here Not only that he's on home ground as well nadarazzi with home support Nice movement from not for lawyer. He looks to go and from the left side And he's not really showing any what do we call it intent? To attack he doesn't really want the near ones. Yeah, it's quite evident He put a leg around the side put an arm on the top and said i'm just not gonna go anywhere This time on the right side Summary there wasn't he never had Oh, yes, napoli ebbs in and he just manages to hook ground there to stop that nadarazzi Strong effort right the way between the legs and yes, it's not good to wrap your legs around there because they can have a second stab, but He gets away with it So now he's got to uh got to work nadarazzi because he gets the shido on the board Stumbling backwards. Yeah, this could be it because uh Not fully up then if he gets this leg out And we know that nadarazzi doesn't want to know down there I lost it now Well, there's an old uh an old face Yes, it's a kagi kagiani, isn't it? Yes, of course it is but slightly different weight, isn't it? It's probably weighs on one or two kilos more Our director didn't give us chance to go in there. Didn't he really didn't give us chance We had it sussed Look for layov I think you're right now. He might have his chances on the ground here I think uh, if I certainly if I was coaching i'd say well nadarazzi does not want to know down there Really does not Every opportunity taken today was uh Quite amazing though when you uh think the amount of depth that they have georgians Three and a half million people in georgia and they create such depth in each category nice It's gonna have to be a little bit careful here nadarazzi because he's Going to be up for another penalty if another attack or two And it just happens sometimes Chat with one of the boys in the crowd this morning sabbah and he mentioned Nestor kirgiani He was up in the stands What weight category was kirgiani 60 60. Yeah And we're talking about the Because you mentioned the depth Sadhana shivili Lord number three current world champion at the moment and we were talking about Who had been around recently? For them at 60 Two shitos on the board now for nadarazzi He has uh The mountain to climb he's got to make sure that he goes in first good work rate from The fingers that's gonna need a little bit of Attention which gives us a chance very quickly to talk about something that we have mentioned On the tour quite often. That's the depth That georgia have but as a bajana lightweight and super lightweight and it's only when you then say Oh, they've got good depth at these weights that you realize. Well, it's pretty about pretty good at 73 They're not bad at 81 Well, every time I say We're gonna see him on on day three We'll bring the crowd in a few people coming to see the big fella He's he's not the big fella in the mold of the old-fashioned super heavyweight Nobody's an athlete, isn't he an athletic, uh build sure not the biggest dog, but uh, certainly an athlete Back to the map comes Nadia, that's a how long have we got left on the clock 20 odd seconds two penalties picked up by The georgian he has got to be careful Yeah, just another couple of attacks if they they go in first here from not for lab because uh Well, that was a good effort from him Now the radzi manages to put an attack in at the right time This is certainly where I would go Do you matter make a comment? Doesn't quite get the rotation Stepping it up now Yes, I mean the crowd getting behind him now the radzi, uh suddenly realizes that uh, well i've got a chance here it's not over yet In golden score any score one more penalty to him and it will be all over And that was a good attack Right away between the legs. Yeah Someone with that little kouchi Yeah, that was a change direction one, wasn't it great pulling action and then change of direction There's nothing wrong with that Shout for shido from the crowd, but that was a good effort the sumigashi from look below He actually moves in here and picks up the penalty for false attack Yeah, I didn't understand Now letting him come up quite rightly so too I would have done the same And now can he tie that off this this is the time to do it if he really pushes this hard He needs to push it hard that foot's not that far off Even if he couldn't have got the leg out He should have tried more in the top half That would have kept him going for a little while as long as he looks as though he's working once he realizes that the leg Isn't coming out. He stops working the top half. That's when she's going to call matte Went for the kouchi again Not a bad effort on the arm now, can he do it now? And uh straight in this time. All right looking for the shimmy was up. So did guruma jimmy Keep working the top. Yeah, there's a sudden panic here from nadarazzi. You can see it. Yeah, absolutely This is when you this is when you've got to be clever here You really have to give every indication that you're trying for the shimmy was there so that they can concentrate on that Once you attempt to free up the leg Well, we need them needed the crowd to be revved up a little bit. They certainly are now Wasn't going to go anywhere with that to me that was that was worse than the sumigation You know, there was no chance of him throwing from there At least with the sumigashi. He he made uh, nadiraza react and defend it Scoops that foot up Well that that for me was the same, you know, is that not the same? So so I thought so he's kept hold of him and stayed in contact if he if the kumikata had broken He would have picked up the penalty He won't be allowed to do that again. That was that was close to you, wasn't it? You might have a look at the still on that just to see where he lands Well, you want to know what a borderline is that is the border and then to the front as well Anywhere a little bit further on up if you just stay but not down to the front good effort from the I'm, okay, even with the second attempt where you you continue to hold on to your opponent because your opponent hasn't lost the the kumikata Okay with that he's nearly going to get it now is it going to be now Give one more roll of the dice Yes, one more one more attack not for layup if he lets Back in then it'll be gone. This is his chance to finish this Go with the kouchi. Yeah, it goes with the seotoshi Well that for me was enough But he's not finished. Uh nadiradze wants to get back up. He's not finished Not to live. Yeah, this is going to go now. It's going to go now. It's all over nadiradze will get the third shido and Uzbekistan wins the bronze medal. Yeah, not quite the sparkling and exciting performance that we had hoped for I wouldn't even say workmanlike Yelkiev will want his revenge and to both of them looking for points I'm sure is you know up there, but his teammate not for lawyer visit who's in the upcoming bronze medal contest He's going up against the georgian in the next contest He looked so sharp earlier I'm sure he's on the highlights wheel Not far off there uchi mata straight away there or to gov Nice wasn't it didn't have the left hand on the sleeve Nice movement But he looks as though he's got a bit of a zip to it Yeah, he just looks that little bit stronger doesn't he than yelkiev, but you I mean you never know But it just the the power element that big right arm coming over there and yelkiev can feel that power Just a little bit of panic Going on when he gets two hands on One shido for yelkiev Of course, it doesn't always go like that. I mean sometimes A small score can decide it yelkiev still possibility. He could score but definitely just looks that little bit overpowered For the uchi mata all the time ochi gary He's hitting a brick wall, isn't it? it is Oh, and he looked for the kosa to gary then as well as the Counter to the ochi gary from yelkiev But you're right. He's he's made no impression on him every time he's gone forward. It's just As you say like a brick wall Oh, he's in and that is, uh, always what can happen, isn't it? He's got good technique Yelkiev and that was the closest he's been right the way underneath there Really low seotoshi there and he did well to get out there Oh dear Well It was like an uki goshi, wasn't it from uh Around the waist there to score a yuko. I think he catches the first hip And he gets his opponent on look how he catches it he just whips it through and it was on the belt grip, but that was uh, Brilliantly done there two buttocks made contact so a yuko given What a great change of direction that was Just when yelkiev looked as though he was putting some pressure on Yeah, well he managed to get in that one time didn't he pass that brick wall Into the last minute No matte no advantage of backing them up to the edge. I really like it because It can turn back in it carries on the fight doesn't lose Momentum I can count the number of times on one hand That we've had somebody backing out a penalty for stepping out since we've had that new. I just love it Honestly, I do and that's another well that would have gone as well, you know, and again, you know unless it's dangerous If it's deemed to be dangerous then then they will give it but uh Otherwise and that that's the same with escapes as well, of course He just nearly latched onto that didn't he And he thinks yeah, let's see if we can waste a couple of valuable seconds here 17 seconds Yelkiev looks spent How long is 17 seconds? Well 17 seconds when you're looking at it like that is a lot longer than 17 The Uzbek team trying to tell Their man to think about it think carefully use your head duck and dive And uh, yes good that was good enough It was a good uh, terminology under pressure and this needs to be on top now to let it go and it's all over That was a good performance. I thought he played that very well. It was a bit of a tactical match as well Gets a second win over yelkiev Optikov gets the bronze medal Still struggling to get to his feet Well, I think everybody's going to wake up in a minute Change for both of these here 82 for nazadze Nagachev Just a little bit up on that, but this should be I think they're both going to go for rippon so nazadze Just let you know choker chlokov, uh, tomasi ants Nazaradze were the opponents on the route to the final and we did get nagashev just one side of the screen That's a straight in for the attack Just lift him up. Yeah Yeah with one hand Every match ip on nagachev I think nazadze as well not far off And this is going to go ip on i'm almost sure of it because I just think that they're going to open it up. Oh That was lovely koichi. Gary there Drives him over there for a wasari there nagachev Wow, he just hooked on to the inside and drove Well, that's another one where the referee has signaled yuko Where the scoreboard operator put up wasari and they've had to tidy that up So it went towards the front you could see it there couldn't you you could see that it went side towards the front No, they have given it. So they've counted the side landing, but she gave yuko Because she just cancelled that yuko and given wasari So it was the scoreboard operators put up wasari. It's the second time that they've done that today Yeah, yeah I think you're being kind. Yeah Great stuff there Nazadze right the way underneath there. I knew they were gonna have an open match these two. They're both going for ip on Look at that Tell you what he gets that right and nagachev will fly good traditional japanese grip that one Oh, he's done it again on the other side this time nagachev That's gonna be They've given him wasari was at ipon that was brilliant stuff, wasn't it nagachev? He made that look easy you want to have a look Well, they're going to decide as to whether this went side towards the front. I thought it went side towards the front now, maybe if they give wasari for that then I I think the better score is yuko there Doesn't quite have all the elements for wasari They have given a yuko still game on it So it still has a chance here. Nazadze two scores down For me, there's a definite landing and then the push on to the back as opposed to No, no Sorry, we're not going to worry about it now Does he get the wasari? Yes, he does wasari. It was at ipon then. Oh chigari this time. He says well get hold of that He's also saying how many times do I have to throw him? Yeah, well Wow, he's been on unbelievable form. That was incredible stuff there from nagachev how many scores Has nagachev had? Today, I wonder Are they going to have another look? They might do it give it a yuko again and uh, they're not going to give it a wasari, are they they're going to give that Because it went backside first backside then back they are going to give it yuko they're going to change it So two yukos And you're right nagachev is going to say how many times do I have to do this Two minutes still to go Oh and he's still going for it. Look at this Oh the crowd loving this What a contest this is Nisadze says right my turn. Here we go 10 scores so far, by the way for nagachev today He scored 10 times Uh, it's it's amazing stuff and you know, you do sometimes see one. You think that's that's a great one there He's gonna go The the whole way. Oh, what about this one? Koichi gary then and nagachev just takes it. That's 11 11 well not in this school in this context, but it felt like it It looks like it looks like 21 It looks like 21 scores. Yeah, that was amazing stuff Koichi gary in the end nagachev just takes him over flat onto his back I don't think they're going to change this one Nagachev with an absolute brilliant performance Manages to well take nazadze. He was on great form as well, and he took him over four times He was definitely the hottest property in the weight category
