Judo Canada – Perth Judo Oceania Open

Zachary Burt Defeated After a Marathon Bout

Nouvelle

Montreal, November 4, 2019 – He had already lost twice against him in the past. This time was almost right. On Sunday, Zachary Burt (-90 kg) fought for over 8 minutes against Slovak Peter Zilka, but was defeated by waza-ari in the second round of the Judo Oceania Open in Perth, in Australia.

“I won my first match quite easily against an unknown from New Zealand. The second round was a real war,” commented Burt, adding that the tournament allowed to collect Grand Prix points. “The tournament attracted a good amount of the world’s best athletes trying to qualify for the Olympics.”
