Georgian competitor lost semifinal judo match. Then kicked winner in the balls and knocked him down after the match was over. Would have played other semifinal loser for bronze medal, but was disqualified and banned from future competition. This was 100 kg+ category, unlimited weight, so mostly Europeans rather than Asians.

The offender should lose his combined privates and the offending leg.

And still spend time in a male prison.

Winner who got kicked is black, but from some French Caribbean island, so plays for France.

The Georgian (white uniform) participant was much smaller and shorter than the Frenchman Teddy (blue uniform). I was surprised they were matched as in the same class.

The Georgian may have over reacted to that size difference, becoming unnecessarily violent, the way a Chihuahua will quickly bear his fangs at any possible threat.

I can’t believe the Frenchman was able to control the notorious French temper that so many Frenchmen seem to have when insulted like that. What have the French come to?
