Lausanne Grand Slam Day 2


-63kg: Szymanska (POL)

In the final, Angelika Szymanska (POL) executed a fine juji-gatame to get a submission win from Manon Deketer (FRA).

-73kg: Cargnin (BRA)
In the final, Danil Lavrentev (RUS) scored first with hikikomi-gaeshi for yuko. But Daniel Cargnin (BRA) was the one who got the winning ippon score, from a very low ura-nage counter. 

-70kg: Butkereit (GER)
When two players from the same country meet in the final, quite often it results in a stalemate. This is what happened in the final, when teammates Miriam Butkereit (GER) and Giovanna Scoccimarro (GER) fought each other. In the end, it was decided by penalties, in favor of Butkereit. 

-81kg: Zhubanazar (KAZ)
Only a yuko from a footsweep by Abylaikhan Zhubanazar (KAZ) separated him from Arslonbek Tojiev (UZB) in the final. But it was enough to win Zhubanazar the gold medal.
