-81kg: Arbuzov (RUS)
This was the rematch everyone wanted to see. If there was any doubt that Timur Arbuzov had surpassed Tato Grigalashvili (GEO) as the dominant player in this category, all that was laid to rest in the final where Arbuzov absolutely took his Georgian rival apart. First, he threw him with a cross-grip drop morote-seoi-nage for waza-ari, then kouchi-gari for yuko, and finally a tewaza counter that laid Grigalashvili flat on his back for ippon.
-70kg: Ozbas (HUN)
Szofi Ozbas took less than a minute to pin Melkia Auchecorne (FRA) with a kata-sankaku turnover. She really made it look easy.
-90kg: Maisuradze (GEO)
Luka Maisuradze didn't look as aggressive as Nemanja Majdov but when the time was right, during Golden Score, Maisuradze put in an opportunistic footsweep that scored waza-ari.
