I feel like I’m living in the bizarro world. How the fuck does an Olympic judo medalist get robbed and beaten up by some random asshole on a beach in Brazil?
He’s a fucking blackbelt in judo, at he highest levels. He could’ve taken this guy and twisted him up in a pretzel and then snapped his neck like a dry twig.

Dirk Van Tichelt probably didn’t envision one of the greatest days of his life ending in the hospital. But that’s exactly where the Belgian judoka found himself Monday night hours after winning his first-ever Olympic medal.
Van Tichelt won bronze in the 73-kg judo competition on Monday. Naturally, he went off to Copacabana Beach that night to celebrate the achievement. And that’s where things went awry.
Van Tichelt was reportedly assaulted by a thief on the famous beach, and was struck in the face. He was taken to the hospital after the incident.
The thief, who was reportedly Brazilian, came away with a cellphone, but, crucially, not with a bronze medal.
Wouldn’t have happened to the Gold and Silver medalists…

A sucker punch followed by a kick to the balls is best martial art.
Ask Howard. Sure he will be fine with it.
Every average Joe in the streets knows Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. It’s part of the culture. Even a low level jiu jitsu practitioner can pulverize an Olympic level judo guy in a real fight.
To quote Bill Murray: “every Olympic event should have one average person competing along for reference.”
