the ground, a couple of Ukrainians going for bronze medals later. The Bronze Medal contests are for people who have gone through the repechage and also the defeated semi-finalists, you have the two defeated semi-finalists going up against repechage winners. In the men's under 90kg, the Latchoumanaya latch, the first brond medal contest of the afternoon. >> This is world ranked number 8, against the world ranked number 3. Amanzhol from Kazakstan, 24-years-old, his first Paralympic Games, as is the case for Latchoumanaya. There is Helios himself. Lost to one of the finalists, Nouri. Second in the European Championships, Latchoumanaya, two years ago, born in the greater Paris area, but moved down south and here we have Amanzhol, he had to go through the repechage, got knocked out in the quarters and came through. He's had a little bit more of a workout today. Maybe that will count against him if this Bronze Medal bout goes the distance. >> Referee for the bout from Romania, will be taking charge. She will be bringing the athletes on to the area, the phrases used in the sport of judo and the mat is the area they will be competing on, that yellow square you will see in a moment and that's the competition area proper. If they were to leave that area and go on to the red part of the map, the referee will use a repeatedly to give the athletes an idea of where they are on the area and how they can orientate themselves back into the centre. >> Amanzhol on the left of the screen to begin with. He is wearing the white, Latchoumanaya wearing the blue. >> We are under way for this four-minute bout. >> Straight into the action was Latchoumanaya. Referee put the hand out to stop the athletes. They have to start off in this position and that's a kind of neutral position. But once under way they can move anywhere that they wish and try to get set to do a throw or a take-down. You will see the clock starts to tick away here, going up to ten, if it's up to ten, that will be a wasarai. Is it going to be a nippon within the first seconds of the bout, it certainly is. Great result there. Bronze Medal for he will yos Latchoumanaya. He tried the throw, wasn't successful with that, but managed to pin his opponent, first for ten seconds and for a subsequent ten to make it into ippon, the first of the two bronze medals in the books, there are two bronze medals, Latchoumanaya won't have to fight against the other Bronze Medal match winner. We have a nice big podium here, and the first one going to France, a proud judo nation that won the team event at the Olympics around three weeks ago at this very Nippon Budokan and here they are with a Bronze Medal for Latchoumanaya in the men's under 90kg category. Latchoumanaya holding his man in position on the ground on the mat. Unable to escape that. .
