For three days, Uzbekistan has been chasing after its gold medal. On the second day, it was very close, but unfortunately Sharofiddin Boltaboev failed in the -81kg final against Italian Christian Parlati. The last chance therefore rested on the shoulders of Davlat Bobonov, winner of the Grand Slam in Düsseldorf in 2020 and having so far achieved a faultless day through the preliminary rounds. In the final he was opposed to Nagasawa Kenta (JPN), already winner of two Grand Slams in his career.
