It’s Day 2 of the World Judo Masters in the historic city of Jerusalem!

Once again, the Païs Arena stadium was filled with passionate Judo fans who were eagerly anticipating another thrilling day of competition.

The -81kg category was packed full with some of the most talented Judoka on the planet. Current World Champion Tato Grigalashvili had an epic day, blasting his way to the final.

On the other side of the draw was former World Champion Saeid Mollaei of Azerbaijan, who defeated his Belgian counterpart, Matthias Casse, in their semi-final match.

During the final, a clever counter saw the Georgian World Champion end 2022 on yet another high. What an amazing year for Grigalashvili.

The medals were awarded by Miri Regev, Member of the Israeli Knesset.

In the -73kg class, Brazil’s Daniel Cargnin was delighted to win his first World Masters title.

He was awarded his medals by Naser Al Tamimi, General Treasurer of the IJF.

There was pure delight for Olympic silver Medallist, Michaela Polleres, as she defeated 2019 World Champion Marie-Ève Gahié of France to become the -70kg World Judo master.

She was awarded her medal by Vladimir Barta, Head Sport Director of the IJF.

We asked her about the incredible atmosphere here in the stadium.

Agron Kuka, President of the Kosovo Judo Federation, was on hand to award the medals.

With so many fans in the stadium, children from the Shalva association were lucky enough to step onto the tatami mats and try their hand at the gentle art.

The local athletes were in great form once again, putting on a display of scintillating judo to make sure that the huge home crowd had the time of their lives and got to meet their heroes.

Beautiful Jerusalem is bubbling with excitement and can’t wait for the final day of the World Judo Masters on Thursday.
