1.  Who made the biggest impact since the London 2012 Olympics ?

Takato in the 60kg weight divsion has destroyed just about everyone in sight. He is amazing. 

2. Of all your favourites for the ECh, which one of the can be the biggest surprise at the next Olympics ?

I think Mudranov, Polling and Gerbi have what it takes to claim the gold in Rio. 

3. Do you think that there should be weight limit in + categories ?

Yes In wrestling they have a cap at 120kgs and it should be the same at Judo. It is not healthy (in most cases) to be above 125kg so we should have a cap somewhere.

4. Judo after Olympics, easier or harder with new rules ?

Judo these days is very very very technical, even more than ever before and therefore is much harder after the Olympics.

5. I really enjoy to watch  Elio Verde (ITA), Yarden Gerbi (ISR), Polling (NED), Sobirov (UZB) and Galstyan (RUS).

6. Would you change/add anything in Judo ?

I would replace shidos (which has a negative connotation) and instead give advantages the more more atacking player (instead of shidos)

1.  Who made the biggest impact since the London 2012 Olympics ?

Lasha Shavdatuashvili of Georgia

2. Of all your favourites for the ECh, which one of the can be the biggest surprise at the next Olympics ?

At Olympics there is 2016 no Fighter with big surprise. I mean one of the best in the World Rancing List will win. Only the  Austrian Fighter give big Surprises ;-)

3. Do you think that there should be weight limit in + categories ?

I hope not. Discrimination have no place in Judo, the same as racism. 

4. Judo after Olympics, easier or harder with new rules ?

For the Fighter the same, but for the Referee is very harder....

5. I really enjoy to watch   all Austrian Judoka and Georgii Zantaraia.                                                                         

6. Would you change/add anything in Judo ?

Yes of course! Change the latest and the coming changes to the good old one...
