Erdenebayar Batzaya surprises with gold in Tbilisi
The Georgian public came in their numbers to see their hero, Lasha Shavdatuashvili, the man who won everything for Georgia. World number 1, world champion and Olympic champion, he is a legend of Georgian and world sport, a legend still active, who obviously always enjoys being on the tatami, nourished by the encouragement of the public and the simple pleasure of winning. Unfortunately, that was not enough today, eliminated in the quarter-finals by Erdenebayar Batzaya (MGL) with a waza-ari that Shavdatuashvili couldn’t manage to overcome. Lasha had to start a new competition, against himself.
