Spain's Tristani Mosakhlishvili Triumphs in Men's -90kg Judo at Paris 2024

In a gripping match held on July 31, 2024, at the Champ-de-Mars Arena, Spain's Tristani Mosakhlishvili faced off against Tajikistan's Komronshokh Ustopiriyon in the Men's -90 kg Elimination Round of 32 during the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. The contest was intense, with both athletes demonstrating their skills and strategies on the mat.

Mosakhlishvili, who entered the match ranked 14th in the world, made a strong impression early on. With a bodyweight of 89.1 kg, he quickly established his dominance through effective techniques, including a spectacular Sumi-gaeshi, earning him a decisive Waza-ari score. The match concluded with Mosakhlishvili securing a win after just 4 minutes of action, proving his prowess and readiness for the next rounds.

Ustopiriyon, with a bodyweight of 90.0 kg and a world ranking of 20, fought valiantly but was unable to overcome Mosakhlishvili's skillful maneuvers.

As Mosakhlishvili advances to the next phase, the excitement builds for what lies ahead in this prestigious tournament. With his eye on the medal, he looks to continue his journey in the Olympic arena, representing Spain with pride.
