The head coach took on collection of 12 candidates for the national team. It is easy to guess that on the basis of this expanded composition the command which will appear in the World Cup will be created.

Levan Zhorzholiani (100 kg), Adam Okruashvili, Nodar Metreveli (they are +100 kg) will take part in these trainings of Amiran Papinashvili (60 kg), Lasha Shavdatuashvili, Shalva Kardava (they are 66 kg), Zebeda Rekhviashvili, Nugzar Tatalashvili (they are 73 kg), Avtandil Chrikishvili, Levan Tsiklauri (they are 81 kg), Varlam Liparteliani, Zviad Gogochuri (they are 90 kg).

Apparently from the list, in weight category to 100 kg in the request only Levan Zhorzholiani who after the London Olympic Games decided to complete the active sporting career and for this moment is the vice-president of federation of judo of Georgia. However, because in its weight at a combined problem, it restarted trainings and we hope that will be able to recover the desirable form. Though, probably, Nodar Metreveli also is considered the candidate for performance in this weight category in spite of the fact that for this moment it explicitly heavier and appeared recently in a heavy weight.

The Belarusian collection will come to the end on June 20th. After that the Georgian judoists will return to Tbilisi and preparation for the World Cup will continue in Georgia.

Let's remind that the World Cup will take place from August 26th to September 1st in Rio de Janeiro.
