Israeli wins European Judo championship
By FRANKIE SACHS
Arik Ze'evi successfully defended his European Championship and won the title for the third time in four years with a win via ippon over former Olympic gold medalist Antal Kovacs of Hungary in the final on Sunday in Bucharest, Romania.
Ze'evi, who competes in the under-100 kg division, sent a message that he is in top form just three months before the Olympic Games in Athens, where he plans to improve on his fifth place finish from Sydney 2000.
Also on Sunday, Andrian Kordon (+100 kg) came in seventh place while the other Israeli in action, Lavi Tamir (-90 kg), finished out of the rankings after winning two and losing two bouts.
On Saturday, Yoel Razvozov won a silver medal in the under-73 kg division.
