Whether it is Gi or No-Gi, it seems that Spaniard Carlota Prendes Larios is making a habit of winning gold medals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After winning double-gold at the 2024 World Grappling Championships, Prendes Larios repeated the feat in 2025, winning gold in Gi and No-Gi competition in Novi Sad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Spanish grappler won the 53kg gold in No-Gi with a dominant performance and continued the same form in Gi. She won her first two bouts via submission and in the final against Poland’s Zuzanna Kowalska and won via submission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She began by top control in the first minute but was called passive, giving one point to Kowalska to lead 2-1. She moved to a back mount and then performed a rear naked choke for submission to claim the gold medal at 53kg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At 90kg, Tatiana Kabanova (UWW) made amends and won gold medal after finishing with silver in No-Gi event. She was defeated by Alena Vlasova (UWW) in that competition but Kabanova managed to remain unbeaten in a three-grappler bracket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She defeated Vlasova via submission in the first bout and then won 3-1 against Poland’s Justyna Sitko to claim the gold medal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Defending 130kg world champion Abu Gudanatov (UWW) was stunned by Bilal Kurbabagamaev (UWW) in thrilling final at 130kg. Gudanatov tried to set up a choke but Kurbabagamaev never gave up position and got two points for a controlling Gudanatov on ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As the two remained in the same position, Kurbabagamaev was called passive two times in which he failed to score. However, he still led 2-2 on criteria as he had a bigger scoring action than Gudanatov’s sequence of one points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But in the last minute, Gudanatov was called passive and cautioned one point which gave Kurbabagamaev a clear 3-2 lead in the final which he defended to win the gold medal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In another thrilling final, Shamil Mazhidkhanov (UWW) defeated Eldar RAFIGAEV of Moldovia, 5-3, to win the gold medal at 100kg. Mazdhikhanov scored the first two points for control but he was called passive on top which made the score 2-1. But he managed to move into a side mount for three points and lead 5-1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With only intention of defending his four-point lead, Mazhidkhanov was docked two more points for passivity but he won 5-3 and captured the gold medal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At 71kg, making his senior debut, 20-year-old Greek Stefanos Vavilis stunned Sandor Lakatos of Hungary 2-1, in the final and win his first gold medal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
