As many experts have pointed out, the closer we got to the final block, the more we had the feeling that we were witnessing a very high-level competition. There was suspense, intensity, twists and turns, a lot of motivation and exemplary Fair Play from all, while the respectful behaviour of both athletes and coaches was highlighted by observers.

While participation in this 2024 edition has shattered all previously established records, the show offered today has exceeded all expectations. Among the countries that particularly distinguished themselves, we will remember the gold medals of Georgia (3), Kazakhstan (2), Brazil (5), Azerbaijan, Italy, Haiti, Poland

The world championship has now reached its cruising speed and especially half-time. There are now two days of competition left with the M4 and M5 categories in action for the third day. Follow all the news of the event on our social networks and live on JudoTV.
