At the Paris Olympics, our compatriot Gusman Kyrgyzbaev became a bronze medalist in judo in the 66 kg weight class. For the first time in his career, Gusman participated in the Olympics and won a bronze medal. This is our second prize in Paris in judo. Yesterday, Yeldos Smetov received a gold medal. Gusman's many years of sweat were justified. He went through many obstacles. Ignoring the words of many critics, he achieved his goal. A real hero, well done!

Guzman first defeated Spaniard David Garcia Torne on waza ari points in the Paris tatami, and in the second round - the silver and bronze medalist of the Olympic Games, World Champion, South Korean wrestler An Baul. He was not afraid of the Korean wrestler. He also caught him off guard with a waza ari. In the quarterfinals, he fought the owner of the tatami, Walid Hyar, and advanced to the semifinals by pinning both of his opponent's shoulders to the tatami with 6 seconds left in regulation time. In the semifinals, Guzman lost to Brazil's Willian Lima. In the fight for the bronze medal, he outwitted Serbian judoka Buncic Strahinja and won Olympic bronze.
