Around 75 judoka from 14 countries competed at the men-only, two-day event.

It came ahead of this year's first IBSA Judo Grand Prix, due to take place in English city Nottingham on April 11 and 12.

The latest chapter in the rivalry between Georgia’s world and Paralympic champion Zviad Gogotchuri and Britain’s Christopher Skelley was written in the up to 100 kilograms final.

Skelley repeatedly gets very close to beating his rival but once again Gogotchuri had the edge to claim the gold medal.

At this year's Paralympic Games in Tokyo, he will aim to improve on his bronze medal-winning performance from Rio 2016.
