Quick judo retirement
Fara’s sorry: “Now everyone has to chop again”
Judoka Aaron Fara has apologized to the citizens of his home town of Bad Erlach after his early and quick retirement. The mayor had released everyone in the morning to support him in front of the screens. "Now it's 10.30 a.m. and everyone has to chop again. I'm sorry about that," said Fara.
For the 27-year-old, his Olympic debut in Paris on Thursday was over after just over a minute. Fara was defeated by Tokyo gold medalist Aaron Wolf from Japan in the 100 kg weight class after an ippon.
"There would have been something in it"
"It sounds stupid now, but it could have been something," said Fara. The Lower Austrian wanted to be aggressive right from the start, but this shot backfired. After just a few moments, he conceded the first score with a waza-ari. "The throw after ten seconds took me by surprise. I wanted to go all out and the dog tricked me."
