Three Montenegrin judokas will perform at the prestigious Grand Slam judo tournament in Abu Dhabi. Nikola Gardašević in the category up to 73 kilograms and Srđan Mrvaljević in the category up to 81 kilograms will feel the tatami in the United Arab Emirates today, while Danilo Pantić in the category up to 100 kilograms will fight tomorrow.
The draw did not favor any of our judokas.
In the first round of the skeleton of 34 fighters, Gardašević will fight against the Greek Georgios Azoidis, and in case of victory, the American born in Nikšić, Nikolas Delpopolo, would be waiting for him.
The two fought a month ago in Zagreb and Gardašević was better.
Mrvaljević has the Portuguese Anri Egutidze in the first fight for his rival, and a victory would lead him to the free Iranian Saeid Molalaei.
Tomorrow in the 1st round, Pantić will meet the trophy-winning Kazakh Viktor Demjanenko.
