Varlam Liparteliani bows out to judo
During the third day of competition of the Tbilisi Grand Slam 2024, the Georgian public had the joy of celebrating the end of Varlam Liparteliani end of career. Liparteliani bowed out to this environment which brought him so much and to which he gave so much. Silver medalist at Rio 2016, three times world vice-champion, for six world podia overall, and three times European champion for ten continental medals, we never stop drawing up the list of Varlam Liparteliani's awards. Still ranked 27th in the world, although he occupied a much higher rank, and a member of the IJF Athletes' Commission, 'Lipo' is an important figure in world judo.
