Chahrazed Boughrara (F -73)

Chahra fought in a bigger weight class than usual because there were no opponents for his own. Estonia's Kai Laatsperä and Saara Rintamaa in the final didn't have much to say about the matches that Chahra dominated with an iron grip. Both matches ended 2-0. Nordic championship for Chahra.

Bardia Mirzaei (M -80kg)

Due to the small size of the series, Bardia had a direct place in the finals. In the only match, Iceland's Bjorn Joel Bjorgvinsson was the perfect opponent in the set 2-0. So, gold for Bardia.
