Unfortunately athletes face these problems and we are providing now all medical care so that he can recover as soon as possible, “said the Performance Director of the Brazilian Judo Confederation, Ney Wilson.
\"I am very sad because I got injured on the Championship’s eve, which was going to be at home, a very special place for reviving the victory from 2007.
