Tyumen judokas won gold at the European Championships in Belgrade

Tyumen judokas in the Russian national team won gold medals at the European team championship among mixed teams. The tournament was held on November 7 in Belgrade and our national team became the best of 13 teams.

The road to the title was laid out by Russian judokas from three victories: over the teams of Austria and Turkey with the same score 4: 0 and in the final meeting over representatives of Georgia - 4: 1. The final pedestal was as follows: gold – Russia, silver – Georgia, bronze shared by France and Turkey.

Two golds in the national team were won by athletes of the Training Center of the sports reserve "Tyumen-judo". In the weight category up to 73 kg, the victory was brought by Buyan-Herel Sanaa (coaches Alexander Nikolaev and Ivan Chashchin) and Shamil Zilfikarov (coaches Ivan Chashchin, Viktor Vorobyov and Alexei Korenev). Two Tyumen judokas in the same weight category as part of the European champion team is a result that can be rightfully proud of.

We congratulate Buyan-Herel and Shamil with well-deserved awards, and their mentors with brilliantly prepared pupils! The Tyumen region is proud of its athletes: their victory in Belgrade was another line in the annals of Tyumen judo and an excellent groundwork for future starts. So keep going, go to new heights!
