Since the Saturday morning in Paris Theo Riquin offered a lot of hope to the French public, adding one performance after another, particularly against the Russian Iartcev and the Tadjik Makhmadbekov. Could he reach the same level as the Japanese Kenshi Harada? Everyone believed in that possibility during the normal time of the final and during most of the golden score period, until Harada found the opportunity, again on the ground, to execute a dazzling leg release, to then pin with kata-gatame, bringing him the title.
The two bronze medals went to former European Champion Hidayat Heydarov (AZE) after a masterpiece kata-guruma for ippon and to Alexandru Raicu (ROU).
Soichi Hashimoto won the tournament three times in 2017, 2019 and 2020, this time it's another Japanese middleweight who took the gold medal.
