International Referee Vladimer Nutsubidze enjoys his job as referee
International Referee Vladimer Nutsubidze is again present at IJF Grand Prix in Tbilisi. He is officiating key contests all weekend long but does this for several years.
Nutsubidze said: "For me personally I have great pleasure in being able to referee in Georgia at an IJF event. The atmosphere was good but when I am on the tatami, I do not hear it. I am totally focused on the action in front of me and that is my role. I have been a referee for 24 years, I become an IJF 'A' referee in 2006 and have had a great pleasure in being involved in events all over the world.
"I hope all the athletes and teams enjoyed the competition and their time in Georgia. I will now continue to the next event as I will go to the Samsun Grand Prix next week."
The Georgian crowd produced a special atmosphere and their incredible volume was extended to judoka outside of their homeland as they appreciated the efforts of some of the world's top international talent taking on the best of Georgia in Tbilisi.
