Cypriot judoka Yiannis Antoniou won the gold medal in the +100kg category at the Lima Grand Prix in Peru on Monday, just a few days after claiming gold at the Commonwealth Games.
In the final, the Cypriot champion defeated Mikita Sviryd from Croatia.
“I’m just really happy right now. I think this is the best result of my career and I feel really proud of all the hard work I’ve done to reach this point. Most importantly for me, this is a big step closer to Olympic qualification and this is my main dream,” he told the International Judo Federation.
