Party for Tajikistan with three medallists on the podium U66kg
The final for men U66kg at the Dushanbe Grand Slam guaranteed a medal chance for the host nation Tajikistan, but the end result was an individual gold medal for Nurali Emomali. Obid Dzhebov and Nurali Emomali offered on a golden platter to a delirious crowd at the end of their respective semi-finals. It must be said that the only spoiler could have been Yashar Najafov (AZE), who was the only judoka to reach the final four, not from Tajikistan. Unfortunately for him but luckily for the audience, he was defeated by Dzhebov.
