Bronze Judo medalist beaten down by a common favela call girl? The Brazilian talent is just too deep
A Belgian Olympic medal-winning judo star chased down a thief and was punched in the face on Copacabana Beach, just hours after his win.
Dirk Van Tichelt, who won a bronze medal in the 73kg judo competition, had been celebrating on the beach when the assault took place.
Brazilian media claimed the assault was committed by a local call girl, but the Belgian Olympic Committee said it was a male attacker.
Luc Rampaer, communications director for the committee, said: “It's false information. It was definitely a man who punched him; that's what the police report says."
