Japan's Soichi Hashimoto was Shavdatuashvili's main opponent in the men's -73 kg category, but he was defeated by Karen Galstian (AIN) with two waza-ari. It took Shavdatuashvili 33 seconds to defeat Galstian with an ippon in the final. It was the second gold medal for the Georgian team after Eteri Liparteliani won gold the day before.
