Greek judoka Thodoris Tselidis secured a bronze medal in the men's -90kg category at the Paris Olympics, marking Greece's first medal at these Games.
The 27-year-old's victory ended a 12-year drought for Greece in Olympic judo, with the last medal won by Ilias Iliadis in the same weight class at the 2012 London Olympics.
Tselidis' win marked a testament to his skill, determination, and rigorous training. He started his bronze medal match strong, taking an early lead against Spanish opponent Tristani Mosakhlishvili, which he maintained with strategic precision.
In a post-match interview, Tselidis expressed his gratitude to his coaches, family, and fans for their unwavering support.
He hopes his victory will inspire young Greek judokas to pursue their dreams with the same passion and commitment.
