A fantastic day for judo fans in the Mongolian capital Ulaanbaatar where they were witness to some spectacular skills on the last day of the Judo Grand Slam at the Steppe Arena. The thriving city of Ulaanbaatar is the capital of Mongolia, a land known for its landscapes, tradition – and its love of judo. The Steppe Arena was filled with enthusiastic fans ready for the last day of the Judo Grand Slam and they were not to be disappointed.

B.Gonchigsuren was the home hero on the final day of the Grand Slam. In the semi-final he threw the current World Champion, beating Armen Adamian at his own game. Then in the final, he took on Georgian Judo legend Varlam Liparteliani and sent the crowd into raptures by once again executing a brilliant counter. Phenomenal scenes in the Steppe Arena, with the next generation of judoka present and desperate for a chance to meet the man of the day and take a selfie with him. He was awarded his medal by P.Tsagaan, Chairman of the Board of the Steppe Arena.

Heavyweight Odkhuu added to the incredible ending to the Ulaanbaatar Grand Slam 2023 with yet another medal.
