At the Judo World Championships in Abu Dhabi on Thursday, Aaron Fara only needed one win in the 100 kg class to secure his place at the Olympic Games in Paris.
Off the mat, an article in the OÖNachrichten was the subject of conversation:
In Thursday’s edition, Shamil Borchashvili said that his brother Wachid would get the one Olympic berth in the 81 kilogram class. “The decision has been made: Wachid will represent Austria at the Olympics,” said the Marchtrenker.

Judo Association President Martin Poiger commented: “We will only discuss the squad for Paris after the World Cup, when all the Olympic rankings have been updated, and then make decisions or consult with the Austrian Olympic Committee regarding nominations. We regret that Shamil Borchashvili did not adhere to internal agreements.”
According to OÖN information, a joint conversation was planned after the World Cup. Until then, they actually wanted to keep a low profile. Poiger had previously confirmed to the OÖN that the association had agreed on Shamil Borchashvili as an Olympic starter.
Before that, the ÖJV used a criteria catalog (e.g.: How do you perform against other top ten fighters?). “Every athlete has signed our selection criteria for the Olympic Games,” said team boss Yvonne Snir-Bönisch, confirming the association’s approach.

Can you force an athlete to take part in the Olympics?
If Shamil voluntarily decides not to take part in the Olympics, he cannot be forced to do so, all those involved agreed. Not even the ÖOC, which is ultimately responsible for sending him.
The ÖJV wanted to wait and see whether Wachid was actually within the Olympic rankings. The Borchashvili house was already sure about this after the World Cup. The younger Borchashvili brother failed after an opening win against the Turk Vedat Albayrak. Shamil didn’t compete because he didn’t feel fit enough after winning bronze at the European Championships.
