Guram Tushishvili (born 5 February 1995) is a Georgian judoka who won a gold medal at the 2018 World Judo Championships in Baku in the men's +100 kg event.[3] He previously won a gold medal at the 2017 European Judo Championships in Warsaw in the men's +100 kg event. In 2020, Tushishvili won one of the bronze medals in the men's +100 kg event at the 2020 European Judo Championships in Prague.[4]
In 2021, Tushishvili competed in the men's +100 kg event at the 2021 Judo World Masters held in Doha.[5] He won the gold medal in his event at the 2022 Judo Grand Slam Tel Aviv.[6]
On 25 March 2019 the International Judo Federation disqualified him from any competition for two months after participating in another ranked combat sport, which is prohibited for ranked judokas.[7]
Tushishvili participated in the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, but was disqualified for unsportsmanlike behavior during the quarter-finals against France's Teddy Riner, making him ineligible to compete in any events for the Georgian national team for the remainder of the Olympics.[8][9][10] The incident came about when Tushishvili unsuccessfully attempted to throw Riner, resulting in Tushishvili being brought down on his back on the mat; Tushishvili reacted by pushing his foot into Riner's groin, bringing the unresisting Riner to the mat; Tushishvili then angrily gestured with his hand in front of Riner's face, and when Riner went to stand up, Tushishvili pushed his knee against Riner's chest, sending Riner back to the mat.[11]
