and finally the Judo World Tour is back...:cheer:

 

the first big tournament after the covid-19 break is the Grand Slam in Budapest, HUN

 

and this is the list of Day #1 Champions

 

Men's -60kg: :RUS Yago Abuladze

Men's -66kg: :RUS Abdula Abdulzhalilov

Women's -48kg: :KOS Distria Krasniqi

Women's -52kg: :FRA Amandine Buchard

Women's -57kg: :CAN Jessica Klimkait

 

not surprisingly Russia had a lot of success, as they really never stopped their home activity during this off period of the international action...

 

the second highlight of this day #1 is :UKR Daria Bilodid fighting in the -52kg class instead of her usual -48kg...unfortunately for her, she couldn't go beyond the bronze medal after losing against :ROU Andreea Chitu in the pool final...

She's huge (for the weight) and probably has a lot of problems to stay under 48. I already said in a post 2 years ago that she would have problems with the weight post-adolescense. 

 

I don't know if it's already definitive switch or not (I don't think she would throw all the 48kg ranking points out of the window with Tokyo next year), but I'm 100% sure that she will have to go up to 52kg in the future.  

Krasniqi probably will have to do the same when Kelmendi retires as she's big too (I read an article about how she always has to lose 3kg before a competition and how awful it is for her).

yeah, you're right...

 

however, I'm pretty sure she's going to be in the 48kg class in Tokyo next year (if the Games are held, which at the moment is a big if, considered the develpoment of the covid situation all around the world)...

 

she's not ready to win in the -52kg yet, but it's clear that she's gonna need to move up at least a class, maybe after Paris 2024 even make another step towards the -57kg...:mumble:

 

Krasniqi was aready a -52kg competitor...she decided to go down in this 4-year span because she felt that she wouldn't stand a chance against Kelmendi and because Kosovo already have Gjakova in the -57kg class (going up a weight class was also an option, but in that case she would be quite small within the class other than the internal competition just named)...

 

in any case, after Tokyo there will be quite a good number of weight class changes, as usual...;)

    • New pole vault world lead and huge pb of 4.88by Hana Moll on her birthday yesterday .
    • https://nypost.com/2026/01/31/sports/team-canada-skeleton-coach-joe-cecchini-speaks-out-after-american-katie-uhlaender-manipulation-claim/   Oh the drama....   Cecchini: “I don’t really wanna speak negatively about Katie, but Katie was not on the World Cup team. She wasn’t a top-tier athlete in that program anymore. She was at the end of her career. I would personally would rather race against Katie. She’s not as competitive as the other athletes,” he said. “It’s probably really unfair to say and not really where I want to go with this but that’s where we are with that.”   Uhlaender: “If I were Canada, I would be concerned in how this coach is representing the Olympic values for his country,” Uhlaender told Fox News Digital. “He hurt a whole field of athletes, all with dreams, and this sends the message that they don’t matter unless they are number one. All athletes matter, and we all deserve to compete fairly, with integrity, and respect. He did not respect anyone in that field. “This is not about my resume or how good the athletes were in the race. This is about the fact that he intentionally manipulated the competition to hurt myself and 13 other countries because he felt it necessary to eliminate all possibility. That is against the spirit of sport and not what the Olympic movement represents.”   Isn't it great when other people's dirty laundry is aired?  /sarcasm     (I was a little surprised to see NPR pick this up, but per this article, Uhlaender preemptively recorded the phone call after receiving a text from Cecchini that said he had 'bad news' for her.)
    • Idea (that I don't want to mess with right now, but someone else can steal the idea): Could feed the docs from LA28 + Paris 2024 through AI and see what it says.  (Would just take downloading them, perhaps merging them for ease of upload, and passing it through.)
    • If you have time would love to see a sport by sport overview of the changes/new sports
    • Slowly going through the documents.   Looks like canoe slalom qualifiers will be a bit different. More kayak cross quotas which will let nations to essentially qualify two kayakers.
    • How about we choose either Rome or Milano  I hate this timeline we have entered of multiple host cities / countries. The football World Cup became ludicrous, we don't need the Olympics to join them. At least not more than they already are.
    • Znali se postupak za mješovito složeni luk, 12 parova  
    • FIBA World Cup Qualifier March P.R.   This is my proposed Young Guns Developmental Roster. The FIBA World Cup Qualifier in P.R. is a throwaway tour- nament for Team USA after the Gold Medal Game debacle. This is the perfect environment to test the Young Guns to see who has it, who does not, and who needs more devel- opment. The 2026 FIBA World Cup in Berlin is the tuneup for 2028 in L.A. The game against Spain will answer many questions.   Betts     Center age: 22 Boston  Center age: 24 Brink     SF, F   age: 24 Stewart  F, PF  age: 32 Kiki Iriafen F     age: 22 Jackson SF       age: 24 Howard  SF, SG age: 26 CC         PG       age: 24 Paige     SG       age: 24 Young    SG, PG age: 28 Plum      SG, PG age: 32 Citron    SG         age: 22
    • I'm also reminded as I know Canadians are painfully aware that if figures hadn't been a part of the 1984 Olympics, then Brian Orser would have won gold.  Hamilton could have finished 4th in the free skate that year and still beat Orser who finished 7th in the figures
