(Sports Seoul | Reporter Kim Dong -young) Kim Hyun -bin (Pyeongtaek City Hall) won a valuable bronze medal in the 2025 IBSA Judo World Grand Prix J1 -70kg.

The IBSA (International Federation of Sports Federation) Judo World Grand Prix is a major international series of visually impaired guidance. Along with the World Championships and Paralympics, the medals have a big impact on future rankings and seed allocation.

Kim Hyun -bin started neatly with half of Argentina’s Vera in the first round of qualifying. In the second round, Dongdong Kamani, Italy, lost in the 2025 IBSA Judo World Championships held in Astana, Kazakhstan in May. Kamanni was beaten by the battles and stepped back.

At the Astana World Championship, Kim Hyun -bin, who won the bronze medal in the last instant reversal, showed his strength in this competition. In the first round of the loser, he defeated Indonesia’s Zhunidi to dismiss the 2024 German Grand Prix defeat, and in the second round of the loser, he overwhelmed the Bronze medal match by defeating Rodriguez in France.

The opponent was in India’s Parma who lost at the 2022 Tokyo Open. In the early stages of the game, he scored half of the main specialty, but he won the basis, but he succeeded in the end of the game.

Kim Hyun -bin won two consecutive medals on the international stage this season to secure the world ranking point and demonstrated the power to stand the game and the second half of the game.

After the game, he said, “The reverse victory in Astana has become a great confidence. I am happy to win two consecutive medals, and I will be humiliated with Dongdong next time.” He also said, “Thank you to the director and coach for giving me a lively map and support.” Raining99@sportsseoul.com
