The 2026 IJF Ulaanbaatar Grand Slam ran from 19 to 21 June in Mongolia. The final day featured men's -90kg, -100kg and +100kg, together with women's -78kg and +78kg.
IJF reporting highlighted Sanshiro Murao's controlled -90kg campaign, built on pressure, timing and mature contest management, as he collected the men's -90kg gold medal.
For Hong Kong judo readers, the key points are the continuing strength of the -90kg category and the speed at which Japan is testing athletes on the World Tour.
