The third final of the day saw Cyrille Maret (FRA) and Adlan Bisultanov (RUS) compete for gold. The home winner of the Paris Grand Slam this year was the first one to score yuko after more than three minutes with a harai-makikomi, followed by a second yuko on the same action a few seconds later. Maret confirmed his favorite status for the upcoming big events.
Nothing and nobody seemed to be able to stop Cyrille MARET from France. After his solid victory in Paris, at the beginning of February, MARET has gained confidence and it is not Martin PACEK (SWE), who really put him in danger despite a very good kansetsu-waza technique (arm-lock) which was not far to be successful in the semifinal. The French, once again qualified for a final of a major international event. He is definitely one of the favorites of the upcoming European Championships, which will be held in Montpellier, France, in April. Multi-time winner of IJF event, Sergei SAMOILOVICH (RUS), was rapidly eliminated by MARET. In the second half of the draw, Adlan BISULTANOV (RUS), who was not among the top favorites of the tournament, obtained his ticket to the final having defeated Samet BULUT (TUR), Javad MAHJOUB (IRI) and Elmar GASIMOV (AZE).
The first bronze medal fight opposed Karl-Richard FREY (GER) and Elmar GASIMOV (AZE). 37 seconds were enough to Karl-Richard FREY to catch GASIMOV with a shime-waza technique for ippon.
The second bronze medal fight opposed Javad MAHJOUB (IRI) and Martin PACEK (SWE). Even less time was required for Javad MAHJOUB to apply a shime-waza technique as well and win the bronze by ippon, giving no chance to PACEK.
