Noël van ‘t End back at the highest world level
The final in Paris for men U90kg was between two stubborn and determined judoka. At first it looked likely to end with shidos even though the action was not lacking. However, just inside the last minute Noel Van t End caught Murad Fatiyev (AZE) with a very low rolling left seoi -otoshi for waza-ari and despite being pushed to the edge more than once, held his score and at 31 years old won his first grand slam gold since 2014. It was the first of two gold medals for the Netherlands this Sunday.
