Georgian sambo team won 5 medals at World Championship which was held in the capital of Uzbekistan, Tashkent, on this weekend. Three from 9 members of Oleg Iadze's team stood on the second step of the pedestal. Two members took the 3rd place. Davit Svimonishvili (62 kg), Levan Nakhutsrishvili (68 kg) and Levan Tsiklauri (82 kg) needed one victory to become champions. Nakhutsrishvili lost against Belarusian Dmitry Bazilev and Tsiklauri - against Russian Rais Rakhmatulin.
There is no official website of World Championship. We found information on internet-forum where fan wrote results. It is not known, how many matches Georgians held and what are the results. We only found out, that heavyweight Aleksi Davitashvili lost against future champion Russian Vitali Minakov in the main wrap. Later, Davitashvili won bronze medal. Mindia Bodaveli (90 kg) took the third place. Ushangi Kuzanashvili (52 kg), Avtandil Tsintsadze (57 kg), Kakha Mamulashvili (74 kg) and Mirian Pavliashvili (100 kg) were left beyond the pedestal. Belarusian Andrei Kazusionak became a champion in 90 kg. In last April Kazusionak won European Judo Championship which was held in Tbilisi. He beat Varlam Liparteliani in the final.
