Rio 2016 Paralympic bronze medallist Alex Bologa’s partnership with coach Tamas Gergely is one of the most beautiful – and successful – in judo.
The pair have been training together for nearly 10 years, since Gergely helped pioneer the Romanian Paralympic judo programme in 2012.
Bologa was one of the first judoka to be recruited by the National Paralympic Committee as a teenager in the same year, and has grown into one of the most successful, respected and likeable athletes on the circuit. The Romanian has won two European titles and multiple Grand Prix, as well as Paralympic bronze.
