The first International Judo Federation (IJF) Grand Prix event following the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro concluded in Zagreb today with Russia top of the medal table, as five more gold medals were awarded at Dom Sportova.

The three-day Grand Prix finished with the heavyweights rounding off a fascinating competition in Croatia's capital.

Russia were the runaway overall leaders as they finished with a dominant medal haul of three golds, three silver and five bronzes in total ahead of Poland and France, who also impressed on all three days.

In the first men's action of the day, the under 90 kilogram competition, Russia's Alexander Grigorev clinched his second Grand Prix gold medal by defeating the top seed Li Kochman of Israel.

Grigorev was unstoppable and wrapped up the gold medal with a thunderous osoto-gari, earning an ippon when already in front by a yuko. 

The first bronze medal was awarded to Poland's Piotr Kuczera after he beat German Dario Kurbjeweit Garcia inside three minutes and the other went to Great Britain's Max Stewart, who defeated Gabor Ver of Hungary.

In the second male event today, Russia's Adlan Bisultanov defeated Michael Korrel from The Netherlands in the under 100kg category.     

Austrian Laurin Boehler won the bronze medal as Hungary's Zalan Ohat could not compete having injured his shoulder while winning the previous round. 

The second bronze medal was won by Sweden's Joakim Dvarby, who beat Moscow Grand Slam bronze medallist Milan Randl of Slovakia.

The first gold medal on another busy day in the women's competitions was won by Abigel Joo of Hungary in the under 78kg event.
