After two competitive days, the Georgian judo team ended the Linz Grand Prix in Austria with new milestones, securing three medals on the final day, March 9—two golds and one silver.
The -90kg category saw an all-Georgian final, but Tato Grigalashvili did not compete against Giorgi Jabniashvili, making the latter the champion by default. Guram Tushishvili secured the second gold medal in the +100kg category. Meanwhile, Shalva Gureshidze had a chance for bronze in the same weight category but finished fifth after losing the final.
Overall, the Georgian team ranked second, only behind Japan. Both countries won two gold medals but Japan secured more silver ones.
