Zelym Kotsoiev finally reaches golden world senior level
In the final for men U100kg Zelym Kotsoiev was the contender for former World Champion, Japanese Wolf Aaron, who trembled in the first round when he was led with a waza-ari by the Turkish Mert Sismanlar (TUR) before he scored ippon. Things are sometimes a little complicated when you have a right-handed and a left-handed competitor on the mat and the key is that opposite arm that seems impossible to reach. This is what happened between Kotsoiev and Wolf, but the Azerbaijani was clever enough to get one less penalty, to win a significant gold medal after a very good competition.
