Hegyi celebrates comeback after long injury break
Stephan Hegyi returns to the judo mat after two and a half years of suffering!
The two-time European Championship bronze medal winner and 2021 Olympic participant will make his comeback on Saturday at the national championships in Feldkirchen, Carinthia.
The 26-year-old from Vienna tore his cruciate ligament in March 2022, ruptured his Achilles tendon in March 2023 and tore it again in October 2023.
"Of course I want to win, but it's not a priority!"
"It's particularly important for me to get back into the rhythm of competition. Of course I want to win, but it's not a priority," said Hegyi, who competes in the over 100 kg category.
The SC Hakoah judoka has been training on the mat for two months and is aiming for his international return for the European Open in Rome in November.
