The no 1 ranked man in world fencing exited the men’s sabre event at the Olympic Games in Paris on Saturday but he did not leave quietly.

Georgia’s Sandro Bazadze lost 15-14 to Mohamed Amer of Egypt in the round of 16.

However, the contest ended with both players screaming in apparent celebration.

Bazadze was seemingly convinced that he had landed the winning touch before Amer and looked stunned when his opponent was announced as the victor.

But Spanish match referee Vanesa Chichon checked the video and still concluded that Amer had won.

Bazadze was furious and continued shouting at Chichon, who ignored him on her way out of the arena.

‘For the second time, as in Tokyo, the referees kill me,’ Bazadze later told the media as he referenced his semi-final loss to Aron Szilagyi at the 2020 Olympics.

‘In Tokyo they destroyed my life, almost finished my career.

‘But I came back and became first in the world and prepare for the Olympic Games but she kills me.’

He later added: ‘My career is finished, it is done. How can I come back when referees are killing me all the time?

‘She went and checked the video. I have trained for this for 21 years and she treats me like I am no one.

‘When I asked her to explain she turns round and goes. The Olympic Games… fairness, where is fairness?’

Thirty-year-old Bazadze blamed the referee and also said: ‘My career is finished, it is done’

Bazadze, 30, concluded: ‘I came to the Olympics in bad shape in my life.

‘I don’t know but I will not leave it like this I swear on my sons I will do something.’
