phelps 6,536 Posted February 23, 2020 #31 Share Posted February 23, 2020 2020 Grand Slam (Düsseldorf, GER) Day #3 Recap The last day of a Judo world tour event is usually dedicated to the big men and women... this tournament made no exception... Japan's domination continued also today, but only among the women, where Shori Hamada (-78kg) and Sara Asahina (+78kg) were just unbeatable... among the men, instead, all 3 titles from today's action went to Countries of the former Soviet Union, in particular Uzbekistan surprised most of the audience by winning 2 Gold Medals (Davlat Bobonov, -90kg and Mukhammadkarim Khurramov, -100kg), while Georgia took the super-heavyweights (+100kg) title home, thanks to Guram Tushishvili... so, at the end of the tournament, Japan destroyed the field taking 8 Gold Medals, followed at a remarkable distance by Georgia and Uzbekistan with 2 Gold Medals each and further behind by Canada and France with "only" 1 Gold Medal each...

In case you don't want to see a leg bending the wrong way (so against the knee's natural direction), don't watch.. Savelkouls is walking, but with a big amount of effort: she can make a step with her left leg and then sort of drag her right leg there. Doctors have said there is about a 1% chance she can at some point in her life walk normal again... Savelkouls herself said she thinks the chance is a bit bigger and she even hasn't given up all hopes for her career yet. If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks yes it will.it is written in the outlines of the event. vizier says: This is a return to the IJF World Judo Tour like no other. Budapest is ready to again host a spectacular Olympic qualification event, but this will be a very special event indeed. Following more than half a year of quiet restriction, we will meet again and it will be, undoubtedly, electric! Giovanni Gianni Cattaneo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Poland will represented by just 8 judokas, instead previously registered 24 it's only a question of time, as we're going towards a new lockdown (even if the government doesn't want to take the responsibility to name it for what it is and prefers to let the single regional authorities to close down the Country)...
