Mikhail Sergeevich Igolnikov (Russian: Михаил Сергеевич Игольников; born 15 October 1996)is a Russian judoka.[1][2][3][4] Igolnikov perhaps gained his biggest win after he defeated reigning Olympic Games champion Mashu Baker by ippon in the final of the IJF world tour event "Grand Slam Dusseldorf" in February 2018[5] – this was his first ever IJF event where Igolnikov took first place. He became the 2018 European Champion in the −90 kg weight class after beating Nemanja Majdov of Serbia by waza-ari.[6][7]

Background

Igolnikov initially started judo because his father took him to the same club that both of his older brothers trained at. Igolnikov is a student in physical culture and sports at Kuban State University and is currently a lieutenant in the special forces.
