About Elizbar

Elizbar ODIKADZE (GEO) will be traveling to his second Olympic Games in Tokyo after he finished fifth in Rio five years ago.

Odikadze is a bronze medalist at the 2018 World Championships in Budapest, his only world medal in five attempts. He has lost his bronze medal bout on the other four occasions. A six-time European bronze medalist since 2016, Odikadze was born in Tbilisi, Georgia when it was still part of the Soviet Union. At the 2016 Olympics, he lost 9-4 to eventual champion Kyle SNYDER (USA) in the semifinal before dropping the bronze medal bout 10-0 against Albert SARITOV of Romania. Sharif SHARIFOV (AZE) defeated Odikadze in the quarterfinals of 2019 Worlds before Snyder denied him a bronze medal with a 5-0 win.
