Avtandil Koridze (Georgian: ავთანდილ ქორიძე; 15 April 1935 – 11 April 1966) was a lightweight Greco-Roman wrestler from Georgia who won an Olympic gold medal in 1960 and a world title in 1961.[1] He never won a Soviet title, placing second in 1957 and 1960 and third in 1958.[2]
Koridze took up wrestling in 1949 and in 1957 was included to the Soviet national team. He retired in 1961 and died five years later in a car crash, together with a fellow Olympic wrestler Roman Dzeneladze.[2]
