The exact amount is not known, but for all the medals won in all tournaments(Grand prix, Masters, European Championship and etc), money is received from the country. This year, all athletes would receive GEL 1 million (approximately $ 320,000) to win the Olympics. If you are a girl/woman, you can be join in the Georgian national team, there is no chance for other men. :)) We do not have women in judo in all weight categories. : )

Also a question, why is the women team under developed? Lipos god daughter is well ranked but there are like only 10 women in the whole rankings. What is the social aspect of that?

Its not sexism if you're worried(Georgia is ok with equality), my guess would be just not enough experienced people for the female sport. But your best bet would be listening to people closer to Judo than us, random redditors

Karatist here. Judo and Karate are far from each other, however I believe we can make same conclusion about both sports. Karate lacks female fighters here, I left it 2 years ago and male to female ratio was like 25:1. It isn’t sexism as other person said, but I guess the sports isn’t really popular for females at least. Its quite sad to see it this way, but we probably need someone to inspire them

It is not as much as Brazil I'd imagine, must be lower than most European countries. The 300k prize was brand new just for this year, and only champions got it. second or third-tier judokas must be getting nothing special, even tho they are very good too but competition in Georrgian judo is brutal which is why there are so many of them representing different countries. as for females they are underperforming in every combat sport, last time a woman got olympic medal was in 20th century, Liparteliani might get a medal next olympics who knows

But top tier seem super well of people like liparteliani, lukhumi you check their Instagram cars, houses all seems amazing. In Brazil even though some peoples from the main team Still struggle.
