Japan shines as Tanaka claims -70kg gold and Murao triumphs in all-Japanese -90kg final
It's Day 5 in Budapest at the OTP Bank World Judo Championships and the action rolls on. At -70kg, Lara CVJETKO is no stranger to World finals, but this time she was out for gold. The Croatian judoka returned to the big stage with more experience, greater composure, and a renewed hunger to stand on the top of the podium. CVJETKO looked like an athlete on a mission – ready to turn silver into gold. Her opponent was Shiho TANAKA – a world bronze medallist herself. She had confidently worked her way through the draw. Each contest saw her judo sharpen, her intent clearer. This was her chance to move up the podium and she stepped onto the tatami with gold firmly in her sights. With both athletes hungry for their first World title, the final was set for a high-level showdown. A golden score yuko from TANAKA was the decider. The Japanese judoka rose from the tatami as a World Champion. Hungary Minister of Foreign Affairs & Trade Mr Péter SZIJJÁRTÓ awarded the medals. At -90kg, Sanshiro MURAO was on fire, ippon in every contest on his way to the gold medal match. An amazing run through the preliminaries, with a dominant performance, had the judo world watching closely. Each match was a showcase of control, timing and explosive technique. MURAO looked unstoppable, was this finally his year to take the top of the podium and find his place among judo's elite? Facing him was his team-mate, reigning World Champion Goki TAJIMA who despite the pressure of defending his title, worked his way through the preliminaries. As the stakes rose, so did his judo with an outstanding semi-final ippon. He was finding his rhythm at the right moment, but was it enough to become a two time World Champion? In the final the two Japanese judoka took the contest to golden score. It was a tense, tactical fight. The victory was MURAO's, he would leave Budapest as World Champion. North Macedonia Minister of Foreign Affairs & Foreign Trade Mr Timčo MUCUNSKI awarded the medals. See you tomorrow for more Judo! Six leaders from the Group of Seven – or G7 – discussed Russia's war in Ukraine and the Israel-Iran conflict; however, they were unable to achieve significant agreements on these and numerous other pressing matters. It concluded a summit that was forced to demonstrate how the coalition of affluent nations could still influence global policy, despite the premature departure of US President Donald Trump. During the concluding sessions on Tuesday, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, along with leaders of the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, and Japan, were accompanied by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and NATO chief Mark Rutte. 'We need support from allies and I'm here,' Zelenskyy said, before adding, 'We are ready for the peace negotiations, unconditional ceasefire. I think it's very important. But for this, we need pressure.' The remaining leaders agreed to jointly attempt to combat what they called non-market policies that could jeopardise global access to critical minerals. They also pledged to limit the downsides of artificial intelligence on jobs and the environment, while still embracing the potential of the 'technological revolution.' There was agreement on various other matters, yet despite the summit's intention to demonstrate solidarity on major global issues, no collective statement regarding Russia's invasion of Ukraine was released. Zelenskyy was scheduled to meet with Trump as world leaders convened at the Canadian Rocky Mountain resort of Kananaskis, however, that meeting was cancelled after Trump opted to leave the summit a day early on Tuesday citing escalations in the Middle East. Additionally, the United States had earlier signed an agreement that allowed American access to Ukraine's extensive mineral resources. A senior Canadian official who briefed reporters at the summit said the Washington opposed a joint statement on Ukraine amid its efforts to promote negotiations with Russia. In Trump's absence, the remaining six leaders held an extensive session on Ukraine. Lacking unanimity, individual leaders also met with Zelenskyy to reassure him of their continued support to Kyiv and their commitment to ensure his country is equipped to fend off Russia. The summit was largely overshadowed by the showdown between Israel and Iran over the latter's nuclear programme, which has the potential to escalate. Israel initiated an aerial bombardment campaign targeting Iran, while Iran retaliated with missile and drone strikes. French President Emmanuel Macron warned against the US and other powers pushing for regime change in Iran, suggesting it could destabilize the greater Middle East. Netanyahu had earlier urged Iranians to use Israel's strikes as a means of toppling the government. "I believe the greatest mistake today would be to pursue regime change in Iran through military means, as that would lead to chaos,' said Macron. Before leaving, Trump joined the other leaders in issuing a statement which stated that Iran 'can never have a nuclear weapon' and calling for a 'de-escalation of hostilities in the Middle East, including a ceasefire in Gaza.'
