Azerbaijan`s Elmar Gasimov wins World Masters Judo Tournament 2016

World number one Elmar Gasimov (AZE) was Azerbaijan’s top performer on day three as Peter Seisenbacher saw more success for his leading judoka at the Masters in Guadalajara. Gasimov guaranteed top seed status for Rio 2016 by defeating former World Judo Masters bronze medallist Cyrille Maret (FRA) by ippon after three minutes. Azerbaijan finished the Masters with two gold medals and two bronze medals, a fantastic return for the nation at the most crucial event before the Games and a telling sign of Seisenbacher being a master of timing and tactics.
