Athletes who glorified their homeland at the Olympic Games were rewarded with memorable objects

According to the "Cultural Chamber of Georgia", the local champions of the OI will have their own personal stars.

Freestyle wrestler Geno Petriashvili took first place at the world championships for three years in a row. However, this time he brought a silver award, although until the last moment he held a leading position in the rating of the weight category up to 125 kg.

The second athlete awarded the star was Lasha Bekauri. In honor of the young weightlifter, there is already a named monument in his hometown. The authorities installed it after the weightlifter's brilliant performance at the previous Olympic Games in Rio. This time Bekauri was not only the strongest, but also set a world record in the 109+ kilogram category.

Also, the country's piggy bank was replenished with medals of various merits by the Greco-Roman wrestler Kajaya Ya., judoists Margvelashvili V., Tushishvili G. and Shavdatuashvili L., and another weightlifter Plesnoy A. under the white-red banner.

We remind you that the closing ceremony of the Summer Olympics in Tokyo was held on August 8. In the team competition for the total number of awards, Georgia is ranked 33rd, which is the best indicator of the country at the moment.
