Iliadis wins silver at Judo Worlds
Greek judo champion Ilias Iliadis landed the silver medal in the World Championship in Rio de Janeiro in the 90-kilogram category. Iliadis, who also won gold in the Athens Olympics three years ago and silver in the World Championship in 2005 in Cairo, scored four victories before losing in the final to Georgia’s unfancied Irakli Tsirekidze in the Golden Score process. He did, however, show he is one of the favorites for another gold medal in next year’s Olympics.
