Two slaps and a warning.
Claudiu Pusa, the coach of the German judokate Martyna Trajdos, will now think twice before motivating his protege by inflicting two slaps in the face after having shaken him in all directions.
The international judo federation has just imposed a "serious official warning" on him, because of the "bad behavior he showed during the competition".
The IJF addressed a serious official warning towards the German coach, concerning the bad behavior he showed during the competition.
Judo is an educational sport and as such cannot tolerate such behavior, which goes against the judo moral code.

A totally funny scene, which had both laughed and spoken about the violence of the trainer with his athlete.
The latter had responded to the controversy on social networks: “I would have liked to be able to make the headlines for other reasons today.
As I said before, this is the ritual that I chose before the competition!
"
"Not a good image for the discipline"
An incomprehensible gesture made at the request of the judokate.
“I need this before my fights to be awake.
Don't worry guys, ”explained Martyna Trajdos, before defending her coach Pusa:“ That's what I asked my coach, please don't blame him.
"
An explanation which obviously did not convince the international federation.
“Judo is an educational sport and as such it cannot tolerate behavior like this.
This goes against the moral code of the discipline, ”details the IJF in a Twitter post.
