Krpálek takes bronze at Judo Grand Prix in China

Two-time Olympic champion Lukáš Krpálek won bronze in the over-100kg category at the Judo Grand Prix in Qingdao, China, on Sunday.

The 35-year-old Czech won three of his four bouts, losing only to Japan's Hyoga Ota in the semi-finals before defeating Azerbaijan's Jamal Gamzatchanov in the bronze-medal contest. The result improves on last week's fifth-place finish at the Grand Slam in Ulaanbaatar.
