Mongolia topped the medal table at the Asian Judo Championships in Ordos in China with three gold medals, one silver and two bronze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Twelve of the fifteen participating countries left Ordos with at least one medal, underlining the competitive balance across Asia with Tajikistan and China finishing behind Mongolia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The final day of the championships saw Korea’s Kim Korea\u2019s Jonghoon winning the men’s -90 kg category, after a tightly contested final against Bu Hebilige of China. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A single yuko, scored with a well-timed ippon ko-uchi-gake, proved decisive. Despite strong determination and home support, Hebilige was unable to close the gap. Bronze medals were claimed by Aidar Arapov of Kazakhstan and Israpil Sagaipov of Bahrain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the -100 kg category, the final brought together two in-form athletes – Said Sadrudinov of Bahrain, winner of the Tashkent Grand Slam and Dzhafar Kostoev of the United Arab Emirates, a double grand slam winner last season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
After an evenly balanced opening, Sadrudinov took control by waza-ari using ko-soto-gake before finishing the contest with an immobilisation for ippon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Uzbekistan’s Ernazar Sarsenbaev and China’s Fuchun Huang completed the podium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the +100 kg category, Olympic and world medallist Alisher Yusupov of Uzbekistan confirmed his status as the favourite. He secured victory over Korea\u2019s Kim Seungyeob with a yuko scored during regular time, controlling the contest with authority. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
China’s Li Haiyang Li added another medal for the host nation, while Muzaffarbek Turoboyev of Uzbekistan claimed the remaining bronze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The host nation enjoyed a perfect finish in the remaining two women\u2019s categories. IN the women’s -78 kg, Wu Hongtao captured gold, overcoming Yelyzaveta Lytvynenko of the UAE, who settled for silver. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bronze medals went to Barchinoy Kodirova of Uzbekistan and Aruna Jangeldina of Kazakhstan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the +78 kg category, Niu Xinran delivered another gold for China, defeating Korea\u2019s Lee Hyeonji in the final. Mongolia’s Adiyarusen Amarsaikhan and Uzbekistan’s Umida Nigmatova secured bronze.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
