German Judith reacts after the coach shook him and slapped him in front of the race

German Juditti Martyna Trajdos, who was rocked and slapped by his coach in front of a race at the Tokyo Olympics, has said he was all part of a ritual before the race.

Television footage shows coach Claudius Pusa shaking and beating him twice to his face.

Trajdos suffered defeat against the Hungarian and left Tokyo empty-handed.

After the treatment was taken, it was not her loss, but the fact that the coach took such an act that was condemned by fans and others.

But Trajdos has defended his coach, saying that it is her own request to light up before the race.

My trainer is just doing what I want him to do to turn me on.

Trajdos, who lost the war in the 63kg category, added: “seems not strong enough”.

I'd like to take the forehead for something else today. That's a ritual I do before the” race, she explained.
