This year\, we’re thrilled to welcome two Georgian greats\, judoka who have helped shape the modern era of international judo.  \nWith the British Veterans Championship taking place in Paisley just down the road that same weekend\, we’re excited to once again make the greater Glasgow area a destination for Judo.  \nTato Grigalashvili — Triple World Champion\, Olympic Medallist  \nTato Grigalashvili has become one of the defining competitors of the –81kg category. Known for his dynamic gripping\, powerful throwing style\, and exceptional technical clarity\, he has dominated the world stage with:  \n\nThree consecutive World Championship titles  \n\n\nMultiple European gold medals \n\n\nOlympic silver at Paris 2024 \n\n\nA reputation as one of the most complete judoka in the sport today \n\nTato made a huge impact at The Gathering 2025\, with attendees praising his detaildriven delivery and the time he dedicated to every individual on the mat. Feedback included:  \n“His attention to detail\, his enthusiasm and the amount of time he gave to everybody!”  \n“Main takeaway was the Georgian grip\, taught me some things I had been wondering about and unable to find online\, was very thorough in his explanations and genuinely cared that we learnt from him.”  \n“The detail in his demonstrations was superb. He gave a brilliant insight into the Georgian style of Judo through the techniques he demonstrated.”  \nWe are thrilled to welcome him back.  \nLasha Shavdatuashvili — Triple Olympic Medallist\, World Champion  \nA true legend of the sport\, Lasha Shavdatuashvili is one of Georgia’s most decorated judoka. With medals at three Olympic Games (gold in 2012\, bronze in 2016\, silver in 2020) and a World Championship title in 2021\, Lasha’s career reflects extraordinary longevity\, adaptability\, and tactical intelligence.  \nCompeting across both –66kg and –73kg categories\, he remains one of the most respected and influential athletes on the world stage.
