The man is brilliant! He instinctively had an answer for every attack and could create actions to which he already knew how to react to in order to resolve the bout. Genius.

he was only 17 years old.

[@snickersma]

One of the best attacking fights I've ever seen! He just swamped his oponent with aggression and athleticism! Judo seemed more exciting back then before the new rules.

Looking back 2004 was a great sporting year for Greece the victory at the euros and hosting the Olympic Games
