Judoka Tasoev: “In the final of the European Championship, I avenged my partner from the Russian national team”

Russian judoka Inal Tasoev who won a gold medal at the European Championships in Zagreb, told that in the final he avenged his teammate Tamerlan Bashaev.

In the decisive fight in the weight category above 100 kg, Tasoev defeated Guram Tushishvili. The Georgian in the semifinals turned out to be stronger than Bashaev, who won the bronze medal in the small final.

— Before the fight with Touchishvili, did you think about your personal confrontation? You now lead 4-1.

– It’s Guram, of course, I’m always listening to him. You know, there are good level judokas who don’t want to admit that I exist. Nobody will say who Inal Tasoev is. For what? But Guram Tushishvili is a top athlete, I will always have fundamental fights with him. Because I want to defeat him, because he is strong. I have no personal enmity, only respect.

– Can we say that we avenged our teammate?

– For Tamerlan, yes. There have already been several times where Guram has stopped him, and then I have to stop Guram.

— Do you agree that today you showed the most beautiful and varied wrestling among the judokas of the Russian national team?

– I do not agree. You know how long I’ve been struggling. This may sound arrogant, but I know where I’m going. I know this is not the limit of perfection. I can fight even better. Sometimes I’m careful. I have to get to the Olympics, I have to win them, so I have to be even stronger,” Tasoev told .

The Paris Olympic Games will be held from July 26 to August 11.
