Guram Tushishvili has been disqualified from the men's 100kg judo competition He lashed out at opponent Teddy Riner after the Frenchman claimed victory The incident was branded as 'scandalous' by Dutch television commentators
Georgian judo star Guram Tushishvili was disqualified from the men's 100kg judo competition after he bizarrely appeared to kick out at French favourite Teddy Riner during their quarter-final clash.
Riner, a gold medallist at the 2012 games and the 2016 games, has since advanced to the final after beating Tajikistan's Temu Rakhimov in the resulting semi-final.
But his meeting with Tushishvili, 29, ended in unsavoury scenes, with the Georgian appearing to clash with the French star after Riner had landed a winning move on his opponent.

Sports have become a joke.
The offender should lose his combined privates and the offending leg.
And still spend time in a male prison.
Humanity has become a joke
I was talking with someone today who shrugged and said, “It’s people being people, doing people things. People suck.”
The entire Olympics are scandalous & a disgrace. Yet another even destroyed by wokeness BS.
Hopefully, he had a cup on.
Winner who got kicked is black, but from some French Caribbean island, so plays for France.
This whole Olympics has been a real shite show
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?
The weight class was 100 kg +, so 220 pounds +. Competitors could be any weight over that.
The winner was not really a Frenchman and does not live in France. He is black from the French territory of Gaudeloupe. France, like the US, hung on to as much as possible of its empire.
Coach: “Sweep the leg I said!”
Just compare these Olympics with those held 100 years ago in Paris. Do it, and it will be easy to comprehend the present degradation of the human race.
