Judoka Thodoris Tselidis won Greece’s first medal at the Paris Olympics on Wednesday. Tselidis won bronze in the men’s -90kg weight class.
The 27-year-old defeated Tristani Mosakhlishvili of Spain in the fight for third place. Tselidis took an early 1-0 lead that he maintained throughout the match.
This was Greece’s first Olympic medal in judo since 2012, when Ilias Iliadis won a bronze medal at the London Olympics.
Greece’s Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis congratulated Tselidis on X and said Greece was “very proud.”
