Georgia smokes out opponents winning three gold medals
http://www.eju.net/news/?mode=showNewsItem&id=1397A fantastic first day at the men's World Cup in Tbilisi for the Georgian fighters. They all three gold medals at the opening day, an amazing start of the World Cup of the year. All compliments are going to Bektil SHUKVANI (U60kg), Lasha SHAVDATUASHVILI (U66kg) and Nugzar TATALASHVILI (U73kg). Georgia also had double finals in the category U66 and U73kg.
Silver medallist of the 2011 European Championships in Istanbul Shukvani won all fights by scoring an ippon, on his way to the gold medal in the U60kg division he was better than his opponents Elnur ALIEV (EST), Ay-Kherel BALCHAKPAN (RUS), Yunlong HE (CHN) and in the final fight better than Israelian fighter Artiom ARSHANSKY.
Bronze medals are won by Ludovic CHAMMARTIN (SUI) and Askhat TELEMANOV (KAZ).
Quite a surprise in the category U66 which was won by 19-year old Lasha SHAVDATUASHVILI. He took the gold from his 4-year older compatriot Sandro YAKOBASHVILI. SHAVDATUASHVILI, who is the current European U20 Champion from Lommel year won his fights against Samir KHANKASHIYEV (AZE), Deniss KOZLOVS (LAT), Dutch judoka Jasper DE JONG (NED) and Hevorh HEVORHYAN from Ukraine. Also a good performance by Jasper DE JONG (NED) and Golan POLLACK (ISR) who finished their competition on the third place. Last year both met in the semi final in Tallinn, now both gained another 40 points in the Qualification ranking.
Nugzar TATALASHVILI who was a member of the bronze team at European Team Championships in Istanbul, won the gold medal in front of his supporters. In an all Georgian final he won by scoring a yuko against his teammate Tengiz PAPOSHVILI. Earlier he was also better than Bezkat MANASBAYEV (KAZ), Wei LIU (CHN) and Zebeda REKHAVIASHVILI. Fights for the third place in category U73 were won by Wei LIN (CHN) and Georgian Zebeda REKHVIASHVILI.
An excellent first day for Georgia where the home country won six, 50% of all available medals. We are looking to tomorrow where we can see former Olympic Champion, Zurab Zviadauri in action in the in category U90kg.
The events was shortly interrupted by a smoke incident in the hall but the organisation took fast action on the possible threat of a burning curtain possible caused by a smoking supporter. The doors of the hall were opened for a moment to leave space for fresh air. Despite the cold the competition proceeded the usual way and couldn't prevent a great day for Georgia.

http://www.eju.net/news/?mode=showNewsItem&id=1399An exciting battle it was U90kg at the World Cup for men in Tbilisi. At the second day Varlam Liparteliani took revenge on all assumptions made after his injury. Zurab Zviadauri, the 2004 Olympic Champion who was a coach and had retired competed again in the same category to try to qualify. But after Liparteliani’s injury was not so bad as assumed, both could compete in the World Cup of Tbilis. Liparteliani won all his five fights motivated he was by the comeback of Zviaduari and the assumption made by headcoach Peter Seisenbacher. On a sportive way Liparteliani showed who is in the best shape and still a candidate for Olympic Qualification. In the final he defeated Karolis Bauza, the strong Lithuanian champion. In the semi final Liparteliani was victorious over Serbian Dmitry Gerasimenko who defeated Zviaduari in the quarter final. Liparteliani took his 6th ever World Cup win and his 11th medal. He will now get close to the top 10 of the Olympic Qualification gaining another 100 points, and 60 new points as best result making 746 points.
Zviaduari collected his first 40 points, a long road to go. Next goal: Paris.
Final winners are Georgian fans, Liparteliani himself and in fact the man who set it all up: Peter Seisenbacher. Motivation until the bone. Liparteliani is tonight’s ‘tamadan’ (head) on the Georgian table.
U81kg a Georgian final between Avtandil Tchrikishvili and Beka Gviniashvili. Tchrikishvili collected his third ever World Cup win, he prolonged his last year’s title in the capital of Georgia. Last year the World Junior Champion of 2010 also won the World Cup of Bucharest.
Joachim Bottieau of Belgium was the only non-Georgian to win a medal in this category. Bottieau lost the semi final against the winner but won the small final against Elkhan Rajabli (AZE). Levan Tsiklauri completed the Georgian party.
It was a long time ago for 26-year old Dmitri Peters to win a World Cup. Last time was in 2008. Today he won his third ever. The German defeated home player Soso Mshkaladze in the final U100kg. Germany had a good weekend anyway given the success of the women in Sofia.
Irakli Koblianidze won bronze for Georgia and Martin Pacek (SWE) won his fifth ever World Cup bronze medal.
The heavyweight final was again an all Georgian final between Zviadi Khanjaliashvili and Adam Okruashvili. 22-year old Okruashvili won his second edition of the Tbilisi World Cup. Previously he won in 2009. Khanjaliashvili won in 2003 and 2007. Okruashvili becomes the successor of Alexander Mikhailin (RUS). Since 1998 Georgia won this category 11 times, Russia 1, Japan 2.
This weekend Georgia won 15 out of 28 medals, last year just 4, quite a difference.
