Dota Arai shows potential with gold in Baku

The final for men U100kg of the Grand Slam in Baku brought together Brazil and Japan, thanks to Leonardo Goncalves and Dota Arai. The magic of judo is that a contest can be 4 minutes long or even longer with golden score, but it can also be less than ten seconds long, which was the case here, with Arai performing a perfect de-ashi-barai at the first contact. He earned the ippon in style for the 8th gold medal for Japan.
