Olympic Champion Lasha Bekauri is back
Some players have taken their own sweet time to return to competition after the Tokyo Olympics in 2021. Germany’s U90kg silver medalist Eduard Trippel, for example, waited until July this year to compete again. Trippel’s first competition after the Olympics was the 2022 Hungary Grand Slam, where he exited after his first fight. He did much better at the Zagreb Grand Prix where he got a bronze medal.
