Puumalainen stunts again with European title
The Senior European Championships 2023, held in Montpellier in the south of France, came to an end on Sunday. The last final block of the competition began with the -90kg category. The public witnessed a strong final between current Olympic champion Lasha Bekauri (GEO), who was clearly the favourite, and former world champion, Nemanja Majdov (SRB). Winner of the Abu Dhabi Grand Slam a week ago, Majdov brought the same energy and will into the European Championships. This was his third attempt to take the senior title, but his first victory, following two junior European titles, in 2014 and 2016.
