Lasha Shavdatuashvili, who wrestles in 66 kg weight category is too close to championship at World Cup, which is underway in Czech Republic. Georgian young judoka won five matches in Prague and went through the final, where he wrestles against Belarusian Dmitry Shershan.
Today, Paata Merebashvili (60 kg), Mindia Liluashvili, Sandro Iakobashvili, Shalva Kardava (all of them 66kg), Nugzar Tatalashvili, Zebeda Rekhviashvili and Zurab Nozadze (73 kg) also wrestled but they are beyond top three. In comparison with other sportsmen, Iakobashvili had more chances to take top place, but finally he took the 7th place.
