Some athletes are superstitious and want to keep certain rituals. Judokate Martyna Trajdos has a confusing pre-fight routine ...


After the coach who exults a little too much during the victory of his athlete, here is the coach who excessively motivates his protege.

Engaged in judo in the -63 kg category, like Clarisse Agbegnenou, Martyna Trajdos seems to have a rather… violent ritual just before entering the tatami.

The 32-year-old German is shaken before being slapped by her trainer in order to wake her up.

This technique, quite original, has not really proven itself.

Opposed to the Hungarian Szofi Ozbas in the round of 16 of the Olympics on Tuesday, Martyna Trajdos finally lost to Waza-Ari in the Golden Score.

A real disappointment for the German, seeded number 14.
