The event nevertheless offered a genuinely international podium picture. Azerbaijan opened the men’s programme with Cosghun Aliyev’s victory at -60 kg, Brazil reached the top of the podium through Pedro Felipe Luis dos Santos Dantas, and Amadou Meite won +100 kg for France. Among the women, Maria Isabel Huitron Angeles of Mexico, Joana Santos of Portugal and Valentina Antonella Bonfanti of Argentina each claimed memorable victories.

Beyond the medals, Lausanne demonstrated the growing reach of deaf judo. Athletes from Europe, Asia and the Americas competed in the same arena as the World Judo Tour and adapted judo events, with Switzerland also celebrating a home bronze medal through Jonas Jenzer at -66 kg. It was another strong expression of an inclusive grand slam in which every judoka had their place on the tatami.
