European judoka secure five gold medals on final day of Zagreb Grand Prix

European Judoka stole the show on the final day of the Judo Grand Prix in Zagreb, Croatia.

Two Dutch champions, Jur Spijkers and Michael Korrel, were victorious in the over 100kg and under 100kg events, which sent the Netherlands to the top of the leaderboard. 

Korrel defeated world class opposition on his way to the final, including the current world champion from Spain, Nikoloz Sherazadishvili.

In the final he met the explosive 21-year-old Ilia Sulamanidze, who he lost to in their last meeting. But Korrel didn’t make the same mistake twice. 

A lightning fast bit of footwork got the decisive waza-ari on the Georgian, and evened the score between the two incredible Judoka
