Career and Style

Geest was nice stylish judo player with strong te-waza and ashi-waza but his career was affected by knee injuries. He suffered first tored ACL in spring 2000 and second during 2005 World Championships. Recovery of both injuries took almost a year no competiting. Because of that he did not like fighting against judokas who enjoyed leg grabbing.

In 2008 he struggled with Henk Grol for Olympic ticket and he lost. Just after that he decided ask for Belgian citizenships because he felt that against younger and talented Grol he will be always number two.

His first big tournament under Belgian flag was 2009 World Championships.

Elco van der Geest will always remembered like the man who stopped big Kosei Inoue at 2004 Olympic Games.
