Judo career

[edit | edit source]

Fara's home club is the JC Wimpassing. In 2013 he passed the Shodan exam.[4] In 2015 he moved to the Galaxy Judo Tigers in Perchtoldsdorf. The Bad Erlach native completed an apprenticeship as a masseur and attended the vocational school for hair and body care in Vienna.[5] In 2017 he returned to the JC Wimpassing.[6] In September 2016 he won the European Junior Championship title in Málaga.[7]

In October 2021, he became national champion in the adult category in the weight class up to 100 kilograms for the first time, after having been Austrian champion three times as a junior.[3] Fara won his first medal at a Judo World Tour event in October 2018, when he finished third in the Grand Prix Cancún (Mexico).[8] In 2023, he finished second at the Grand Slam Tashkent at the beginning of March, and just under a month later he achieved his first tournament victory at a World Tour event at the Grand Slam in Antalya.[9] At the 2024 Grand Prix Linz, he sustained a meniscus injury.[10][11]

He took part in the 2024 Olympic Games in both the ‍–‍100 kg weight class and in the mixed team (together with Katharina Tanzer, Lubjana Piovesana, Michaela Polleres, Samuel Gaßner and Wachid Borchashvili).[12] In the individual competition, he was defeated in the first round by defending Olympic champion Aaron Wolf from Japan.[13] Fara and Austria lost the first encounter in the mixed team competition against Germany 1:4 and finished in ninth place.[14]

For his participation in the Olympic Games, he was awarded the Sandan by Judo Austria.[1]
