2017 Suzuki Word Championships in Budapest brought new names on the top of the judo world. 

All of that from the tribune under the eye of 2004 Athens Olympic Champion Ilias Iliadis, 2012 London Olympic Champions Arsen Galstyan and Tagir Khaybulayev, two-time World Champion Rishod Sobirov and Japanese machine Mashashi Ebinuma are just some of the names who were the witnesses how teenager Nemanja MAJDOV (SRB) takes over the U90kg control board, together with Arai CHIZURU (JPN) in U70kg, while Mayra AGUIAR of Brasil regained her World U78kg title.

Arai ensured Japan returned to the summit of the podium, where they have spent the majority of the Championships, by ousting PEREZ midway through their gold medal contest. 

The 23-year-old was expected to have too much for the Puerto Rican, who was in unchartered territory in reaching a World Championships final, and so it proved as ARAI made PEREZ tap to secure victory by ippon.

"It's a big pleasure to compete in the World Championships and to win this event is a fantastic feeling, but at the same time it was a small step to me and I'm really focusing and looking for the 2020 Olympic Games," said ARAI.

"I believed in myself, trained a lot, but I was not so sure that at the end I will succeed. I felt some commitment, told myself YOU HAVE TO DO IT! Every fight was really hard today and I've had seven of them. Never in my entire life I didn't have more fights." - after the final match said the newly crowned World Champion, Nemanja MAJDOV.

Majdov came in Budapest as 23rd judoka of category and will leave it for sure as judoka in top five of the World.
