Georgian judoka beats Russian athlete, takes bronze medal (video)

Georgian judoka Lasha Shavdatuashvili won the bronze medal in Rio Olympic Games yesterday, defeating on the way to the third-game match a Russian Denis Yartsev.
 
Yartsev was winning the game at the beginning, though finally Lasha Shavdatuashvili managed to beat him. 
After the decisive move, the Georgian athlete pointed to a Georgian flag with an emotional gesture as the win came on the 8th anniversary of Russia-Georgia war.
Shavdatuashvili then went on to defeat an Israeli athlete, to take the third place in his weight category.
