With about three months left for the 2024 Paris Olympics, fans are poised to witness a few electrifying faceoffs on the Judo mat.
The Judo events at the upcoming Olympics are slated from July 27 to August 3, 2024, at the Grand Palais Éphémère in Champ de Mars in Paris, France. 372 athletes will compete in fourteen different weight categories. The two-year qualification period that began on 24 June 2022, will conclude on 23 June 2024.
The sport made its debut at the Olympics during the 1964 Summer Games in Tokyo, Japan. The women's category was introduced at the 1988 Seoul Olympics and only became a medal event four years later at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics.
The Japanese team has been a formidable contender in the sport, topping the Judo medal tally in 2020 (12 medals), 2016 (12 medals), 2008 (7 medals), 2004 (10 medals), and 2000 (8 medals) Olympics, to name a few.
