Gennaro Pirelli gives Italy huge boost with golden in Tokyo
Gennaro Pirelli was the biggest surprise of the second day of the Grand Slam in Tokyo. The Italian gave a boost to his country winning the first ever title for his country in the Grand Slam history. Actually only one Italian ever won the Jigoro Kano Cup, in 2006 by Italian head coach Francesco Bruyere. The impact of Pirelli’s gold is huge in his new category U100kg.
