Denis Vieru does everything and he does everything very well. He has enormous talent. Vieru is now the number one of the category and has won in Lisbon and Antalya and repeated Grand Slam gold in Tbilisi on the first day of the Grand Slam in the Georgia capital.
Vieru was third at the European Championships and in Georgia he feels very comfortable. The Moldovan is one of those who does not get nervous and it does not matter who he is in front of or where they meet. Tbilisi spent a small part of their repertoire to reach the final without anyone putting them in trouble. As he likes a challenge, the icing on the cake was the final against a Georgian, Giorgi Tutashvili, one of the youngsters pushing hard, the kind of opportunity for Vieru to deliver a master class. Seen from the opposite side, Tutashvili had just climbed a few mountains and now it was Everest.
Unfortunately for him, for his rival as well, because nobody likes to win like that, and for the public, Tutashvili did not appear, due to injury. Vieru was the deserved winner and Tutashvili a phenomenal runner-up. Georgian Vazha Margvelashvili won bronze against Brazilian Willian Lima. The Japanese Tanaka Ryoma did the same against the Uzbek Mukhriddin Tilovov.
