We will have a big challenge for us to join the mixed team event at the next Olympics. We have achieved this success and we are very happy, this is a result that will put a great responsibility on the federation and each judoka in the future. I think it should be even more stimulating and successful for us.

We have achieved the most important result, not only for the Judo Federation, but for the country as a whole, because the Olympics are the face of the country and I am very happy that we started with dignity and presented our country as one of the strongest.

Many thanks to each judoka, coaches, everyone who is in the process of preparation, fans and I would especially like to mention the merit of doctors in the recovery of Bekauri, but I would like to emphasize the merit of Lasha Gujejiani in what the Georgian team did, especially in Bekauri. As you know, he had a very serious injury and there was a moment when, in fact, everyone shook hands, even the doctors said that they could not take responsibility for the fact that Bekauri would come out of the Olympics with dignity and perfection. Just then, Gujejiani said that either I will go to the Olympics with Lasha Bekauri, or I will not be the head coach. "It was the greatest confidence he has shown in this young man and I want to continue that confidence in this team in general and I am confident we will achieve even greater results in the near future."
