Alberto Gaitero makes Spanish judo flourish
Not Israelian favourite Baruch Shmailov but Russian Morad Chpoanov was the surprise semi finalist U66kg in Tel Aviv. He lost to Dzmitry Minkou, the Belarussia promise who may found his peace and came back into a final of a Grand Slam for the first time and a secure podium place for the first time since 2018. Minkou's opponent was Spaniard Alberto Martin Gaitero who seems to become the successor of Sugoi Uriarte U66kg.
