In the -90 kg category, he won by ippon against Israeli Itay Golan in the first round and by waza-ari against American Matthew Koch in the second round, but was defeated by ippon by Giorgi Papunashvili, from Georgia. In the same category, Louis Krieber-Gagnon was eliminated after his first fight. Danil Neyolov (-81 kg) was also eliminated quickly against Armenian Vartan Khachatryan.
