Inoue takes top honors

Kyodo

Kosei Inoue defeated Yury Rybak of Belarus in the men’s over 100-kg final to claim victory at the Super World Cup in Paris on Sunday.

Inoue, appearing for the first time at an international tournament since a crushing defeat at the Athens Olympics, beat 2005 world champion Alexander Mikhaylin of Russia on points in the third round and scored an “ippon” against Rybak in the final.
