Friday saw Winston Gordon
(-90kg) and Sally Conway (-70kg) compete on day four of the world
Championships in Paris.
Winston Gordon received
a bye in the first round and challenged Rene De Urriola after
the Panama judoka was also spared a first round contest.
Gordon looked strong as
he defeated De Urriola by armlock.
Next up was Ivan Remarenco
of Moldova. Both men were unable to fully assert themselves in
the contest and spent much of regulatory five minutes tussling
for grip control. In golden score, an attack from Gordon saw him
forced onto the mat and Remarenco pounced to secure a hold-down
for 25 seconds and win by ippon.

Sraka posted two yuko’s on the scoreboard before submitting Conway
with an armlock.
