Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#9: Tamerlan Bashaev: known for being 'The Teddy Slayer' but who is Tamerlan?
Q: How did the Tokyo fight against Teddy Reiner influence your approach to future competitions?
Beating Reiner showed that technique and speed can overcome physical advantages, but I also learned the necessity of maintaining focus after a big win. The experience shaped my emphasis on evolving technique and staying mentally sharp for future events, including the next Olympic cycle.
#9: Tamerlan Bashaev: known for being 'The Teddy Slayer' but who is Tamerlan?
Q: What was the selection process like for Tokyo and how did it affect you emotionally?
The process was extremely stressful, with alternating results between me and Tasoev in qualification events. I ultimately felt the weight of the decision and learned to manage expectations, focusing on preparation rather than the outcome. My experience highlighted the emotional highs and lows of competing for Olympic spots and the importance of resilience.
#5 Dennis van der Geest: How Judo is honest. And finding a direction after retiring competitively.
Q: What was the hardest part about retiring from competition and the shift into media and entertainment?
The hardest part was replacing the constant, live adrenaline of competition with a new source of energy. I needed work that fed the same intensity, which is why I pursued TV, DJing, and later IGF-related projects, so I could keep that competitive fire burning in a different arena.
#5 Dennis van der Geest: How Judo is honest. And finding a direction after retiring competitively.
Q: What keeps you connected to Judo today, especially with your kids involved in the sport?
Watching my kids train and compete keeps Judo alive for me. The same discipline that shaped my career—focus, timing, and will to perform—continues to inform my commentary and coaching perspectives, and it's rewarding to see the sport's community feel like a family.
#6: Alina Böehm: Increasing the popularity of judo. And making decisions that are right for you.
Q: What are you planning? Do you have any plans in terms of media things like Playboy or like other things to increase the exposure of Judo?
Alina outlines plans involving media projects and a platform called PICSFair to offer professional sessions with athletes. She emphasizes leveraging her experience and visibility to help others, grow her own media presence, and explore opportunities beyond competitive judo.
