Damian Hugo Quintero has claimed gold in the men's kata to get Spain off the mark at the inaugural European Games.
The 30-year-old resoundingly beat Italy's Mattia Busato 5-0 in the gold-medal final to earn his country's first success in Baku.
Turkey's Mehmet Yakan got the better of Frenchman Minn Dack to claim bronze, meanwhile, securing a 4-1 triumph in that bout at Crystal Hall.
Quintero also came out on top in last year's World Championships.
