European medallists Michaela Polleres and Sami Chouchi won their first International Judo Federation (IJF) World Judo Tour titles at the Cancún Grand Prix held in the Polifórum Benito Juárez.

In the women's under-70kg competition, Austria's Polleres built on her European Championships bronze medal performance to claim her first victory at an IJF Grand Prix event.

The Austrian needed less than a minute to flip her opponent, Belgium's Gabriella Willems, with an uchi-mata for ippon and the title.

The bronze medals were claimed by Kelita Zupancic of Canada and Poland's Daria Pogorzelec.

The Canadian pinned Olympic bronze medallist, Laura Vargas Koch of Germany, for ippon, whilst Pogorzelec had to battle through golden score.

After two minutes of extra time, the Polish judoka managed to throw Italy's Alessandra Prosdocimo with an o-soto-makikomi for ippon.

Polleres' team-mate, Magdalena Krssakova made it double gold for Austria as she won the women's under-63kg event.

Krrsakova forced three shidos in the final from Canada's Catherine Beauchemin-Pinard to take the gold in Cancún, adding to her gold from the Antalya Grand Prix.

Austria's Kathrin Unterwurzacher was the top seed and world number eight but was knocked out in her opening contest against Great Britain's Lubjana Piovesana.

Bronze went to Britain's Amy Livesey who had to overcome team-mate Piovesana in the bronze medal match to take her Grand Prix medal tally to three.

Alexia Castilhos took the second bronze medal by beating Australia's Katharina Haecker.

The Brazilian scored a waza-ari after just 26 seconds in the match and held on for the victory.

In the men's competition, Chouchi took his debut title in the under-81kg category as he forced a submission from Brazil's Victor Penalber.

The European silver medallist won Belgium's first gold at the event.

Frank de Wit was among the medals in Cancún after he exited in the first round at the World Championships in Baku.

The Dutch judoka won bronze alongside Germany's Tim Gramkow.

The top seed triumphed in the men's under-73kg competition, as Sweden's Tommy Macias beat Russia's Denis Iartcev in the final.

The world number seven took his second title of the year.

Brazil's Marcelo Contini and Canada's Arthur Margelidon took the bronze medals.
