Park took silver in the men's 94-kilogram final at the Aichi Prefectural Budokan in Nagoya, Japan, on the 2nd, losing by submission to Omar Tariq N. Nada of Saudi Arabia. Park, who had never competed in an international event before, drew wide attention by pulling off an underdog run to the final.
In the bronze-medal match in the same division, Kim Hee-dong added a medal by beating Taherkani of Iran 5-2 on points. In the men's 77-kilogram bronze-medal match, Park Jae-won reached the podium by defeating teammate Koo Bon-cheol 6-4.
