Inal Tasoev doesn't need much time to finish with gold
Much was expected of recent world champion Inal Tasoev (AIN). With his world title he should be able to keep control in Ulaanbaatar, and so he did and captured the gold medal of the Grand Slam. Two waza-ari, from an uchi-mata concluded on the ground against Jaegu Youn (KOR) in the first round, set the tone. In the next round, Tasoev eliminated Adil Orazbayev (KAZ) and Ushangi Kokauri (AZE) in the semi-finals. The world champion had all the cards in hand to get on the top step of the podium again, although Kim disagreed.
