Being an Olympian is something that does not come by easily, so anyone who is an Olympic champion is someone who should be feared, especially if that person is an Olympic judo bronze medalist. However, Dirk Van Tichelt, a Belgian judo champ recently found out that you can’t mess with anyone. The judo champ recently got arrested after being beat up by a hotel receptionist who just happened to be a jujitsu expert.
After winning the bronze medal, the judo champ went out celebrating with his training partner. According to Dirk, a thief stole his training partner’s mobile phone, something that incensed Dirk, so he decided to give chase. Dirk claims to have chased the thief, who apparently was a woman, into a Copacabana hotel, the Best Western Hotel. Van Tichelt forced his way into the hotel and got into a brawl with the receptionist. He accused the receptionist of hiding the thief. During the brawl, Van Tichelt ended up with a black eye.
According to Daily Mail reports, the hotel staff heard some commotion and noises outside then a woman tried to enter the hotel, but the door was locked, which forced the woman to ran away. The judo champion apparently did not see the woman go away and mistakenly thought she entered the hotel. What the incident proves is that you just can’t mess with someone just because you have a martial art skill. That person might be a jujitsu expert.
