The Fryazino team won the final of the international Battle of Cities judo tournament, defeating the Moscow team 13–7. Eight teams competed for a place in the final in the under-15 judo tournament.
What changed in the final
The decisive stage ended with Fryazino beating Moscow. The 13–7 score was the result of the team contest; the final’s account does not give a breakdown of points by individual bout.
Earlier in the tournament, teams competed in qualifying rounds. In one stage, Fryazino beat Bryansk 8–0, then defeated the Vladimir Region team 13–4. Those results were from earlier matches, not the final against Moscow.
Who was affected by the result
The victory was achieved by young athletes: the Battle of Cities was held for judoka under 15 for the first time. The tournament brought teams from different cities and regions together, and Fryazino’s opponent in the final was a team from Moscow.
A post by the Russian Judo Federation also named the Moscow Region teams Fryazino and Khimki as winners. This points to the tournament’s overall outcome, beyond a single final match: two teams from the Moscow Region were among the winners. The score in the final between Fryazino and Moscow was 13–7.
How the tournament works
The Battle of Cities is an international project run by the Russian Judo Federation and the Cradle of the Fatherland charity program, with support from Fonbet. Teams of judoka under 18 from 73 regions took part in the first stage; those details describe the project’s overall format, while the final involving Fryazino was described as a competition for athletes under 15.
The tournament stages included qualifying matches and contests for a place in the final. In one stage, eight teams competed to advance. Fryazino’s path to the decisive match included wins over Bryansk and the Vladimir Region team, followed by the final against Moscow.
What remains to be clarified
The final score is known, but the account does not provide a bout-by-bout breakdown of the 13–7 result or the team lineups. Individual athletes’ performances are not listed either, so the published results do not show who scored the decisive points for Fryazino.
It also remains unclear exactly how the under-15 and under-18 age categories relate to different stages of the project. For an accurate competition schedule and the complete official results, readers should consult the tournament organizers’ official announcements.
