Danil Lavrentev steps up to gold
In the final of the men's U73kg category at the 2025 European Judo Championships in Podgorica, Danil Lavrentev (IJF) came with unfinished business. After narrowly missing out on gold in 2024, this year he returned with sharp focus and left with the European title around his neck. His opponent, Italy’s Manuel Lombardo, brought a wealth of experience and technique to the tatami, but Lavrentev’s game plan worked to perfection.
