Guram Tushishvili kicked out

Georgian judo competitor Guram Tushishvili was disqualified from the 2024 Paris Olympics for unsportsmanlike conduct after a quarterfinal match against French judoka Teddy Riner. Following his defeat, Tushishvili responded by kicking Riner in the groin and pushing his head into the ground, actions deemed contrary to the 'spirit of judo' by the International Judo Federation (IJF). Tushishvili received a red card, preventing him from participating in both the individual competition and the mixed team event. The IJF announced further investigations will be conducted, leading to Tushishvili's suspension from all international judo competitions until a final decision is made. Meanwhile, Riner advanced to the finals and ultimately secured his third Olympic gold medal. Commentators and officials expressed shock and concern over Tushishvili's aggressive behavior.
