in the past few weeks, rumors about :FRA Clarisse Agbegnenou switching to :TOG have got stronger and stronger.

 

the reason behind this is, as often happens, about economical aspects.

 

Agbegnenou, in fact, has a personal technical sponsor (Mizuno), meanwhile the French National team is of course under contract with Adidas.

 

now the French Federation wanted Agbegnenou wear Adidas judogi in her comeback appearance after her maternity leave after Tokyo 2020, but the double Olympic champion refused to do it, saying that she hasn't trained enough with that judogi to wear it also in competition.

 

but the French Federation left her without any coach on mat side in Tel Aviv (and she lost 2 of the 4 bouts for the first time since 2017) and threatened to leave her out of the team for the next World Championships and above all, out of the Olympic team.

 

therefore, the great Clarisse, despite her will, has to think about a plan B, which leads to switching to the African Nation her family is from.

 

personally, I think everything will be fixed quite soon and nothing strange is gonna happen, but if it happens...:popcorn:

Clarisse Agbegnenou has now agreed to wear Adidas judogi at the 2024 Olympics, but she has admitted she “no longer has confidence in the French Judo Federation”

I don't think she had any other option.

 

switching Nationality right now would have meant a long pause...and basically no chance to compete in Paris without the French authorization.

Patrícia Tománková extended her winning streak to 27 consecutive matches by Ippon this year. Winning yesterday another EC Cadet tournament, this time in Gyor :HUN

This girl is really a slowly growing well hided gem of our sport. Silently waiting for her turn in a couple of years. :yes

 

Veronika-Bor-Gyor-Cadet-European-Cup-202

 

and a small mention about Márius Fízeľ battle for the Slovak Olympic Judo return. Added yesterday another very valuable points by winning the Australian GP in Perth, The level of competition was obviously very mediocre, but who care ? The most important are the points for the Olympics ranking, and our judokas missed the Five Rings Tatamis since London 2012 ffs !

not so bad, though

the :AUS open is compared to the European Continental events, so it's a good 700 points in the OQR for Fizel

not a bad trip for him (and those who flew to :AUS)

    • We had no real problems with russians for a long time. It was a normal sport rivalry. It was common case that statues of russian politicians and poets remained in place even in the Western Ukraine which was joined by the Soviet Union much later. Lyskun was pro-Ukrainian according to her statement but she kept conctcts with her former coach. That coach moved to russia earlier and could do some brainwashing. I would say that the coach may have financial motivation to do this. By the way we had similar case with Bondar from Luhansk who moved to russia in 2014. What is really interesting - russians have a lot of resources but it took them 4 yeats to find someone relatively well-known in sport area to stage this propaganda performance.       Yes, this web-site is active and maintained. The list is beeing updated. But it is not an official goverment resource and it is operated by the non-goverment organization. It was created to draw attention of the national security services to the activities of some people and provide some initial foundations for further formal investigations.
    • AIN's will skipped (they got American visa too late) 2nd WC stage (but their could compete in 3rd WC stage) and, therefore, their chances to got more than 1 entry in OG have become lower, especially,  if their will not allow to compete in Sigulda (but after their participation in Poland's short-track WT stage, I won't give 100% chances for that).   Maybe problem with entries will be solved by itself)
    • You prefer matches in USA , look at that ...    Tourists to US would have to reveal five years of social media activity under new Trump plan to enter    https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/dec/10/tourists-social-media-trump
    • I would say - he did not share some part of "the profit" with someone from above )
    • Yeah, a complete failure all around. Only two individual quotas for men and two for women + mixed relay. Cortina looks like a big fat zero in the medal table tbh.
    • But yeah, as you said, their intention (if I have to guess) probably is to prevent Pan America from having 3 teams without going through the world oqt.  They were generous with the world cup qualification because it's in europe and with 16 teams but they won't be as much with their prime event.   Anyway, this doc is terribly written and could bring problems without an update.
    • IDK this seems like a big mistake on their part. They should have excluded Pan America from the first clause.    And also shoulda clarify if "highest placed" in the second statement means only champion or "highest placed not counting possible pro league qualified teams".     
    • Thank god that Continental Cup is gone, it was impossible to find results in early rounds
    • From my experience it is better to go by what they intended rather than what was written. The point being is that should the United States be in a position to take the Pan American quota, the quota will be reallocated to the world qualifiers.   It can be a bit frustrating, but these documents aren't exactly written to define what happens in every scenario, even though they should. If someone from the IOC/sport federations are here, I'd love to proof read your documents . 
    • Team Casper is headed to Milan-Cortina!!   Lots of misses by China throughout the match, some of which were just bad luck.  Thrilled for Danny and company.  Glad they don't have to play another game
