Brestyan Finishes Ninth in Czech Republic
Radu Brestyan (Medway, Mass./Pedro’s Judo Center/73kg) placed ninth Saturday at the Czech World Cup in Prague.
Brestyan lost his opening match to eventual silver medalist Gennadiy Bilodid by ippon (instant win), but then advanced to the repechage where he soundly defeated Gintaras Aleknavicius (LTU), first scoring waza-ari (half-point) before beating him by ippon.
In the next round Brestyan lost to Yuji Sononada (JPN) by ippon, finishing ninth overall.
Athens Olympian Rick Hawn (Woburn, Mass./Pedro’s Judo Center/81kg) also competed this weekend, drawing a bye in the first round and losing to Janne Romppanen (FIN) on a pair of penalties.
Romppanen then lost his next match to eventual silver medalist Aleksei Budolin (EST), therefore eliminating Hawn.
