Judo IJF World Championships 2018

[dareza 911]

Medal for Bosnia and only silver for Ortiz

 

btw disaster championship for Brazil

[phelps 6,780]

so, the individual competitions are over...

and we have 23 Nations winning at least a medal, 7 of them winning at least 1 Gold (medal)...

Japan dominated the field thanks to 7 God medals, mainly because of their women (the men won 2 Golds in the lowest weights and 2 Silvers in the middle weights, meanwhile they didn't even make the final in the 3 heaviest classes...the girls, instead, won 5 Gold medals and still managed to get at least Silver in thoise 2 weights where they couldn't jump on the top of the podium)...

South Korea were the only other Country winning more than 1 Gold...

on the losing side, apart from the individual upsets, as a team Russia, Mongolia & the Netherlands (each one won 3 medals and no Gold), Germany & Brazil (only 1 Bronze each) and Italy (not even a single athlete in the top 7) were the most disappointing squads...

Mixed Team World Championship

 

Japan and France will fight for the Gold medal after beating respectively the Unified Korean team and Russia in the semifinals...

 

the Bronze Medal contests will see Russia facing Azerbaijan and the Unified Korean team facing Germany...

[phelps 6,780]

Russia (4-1 vs Azerbaijan) and Unified Korean Team (4-0 vs Germany) have won the Bronze Medals in the Mixed Team Event...

 

and are still fighting for Gold, with Japan leading 1-0 after Harasawa defeated Maret in the men's +90kg match...

[phelps 6,780]

2-0 Japan...Yoshida defeated Gneto in the women's -57kg match...

[Griff88 1,735]

Apparently these two ladies are just so tired with this mixed thing

[phelps 6,780]

if I see the picture well enough, they should be 2 of the German girls who just missed out on the Bronze medal (for sure they are 2 athletes who competed earlier)...

[phelps 6,780]

and now it's 3-0 Japan...Tatsukawa just won his -73kg bout against Chaine...

[phelps 6,780]

4th match on the mat is the Silver medallist (Gahie) against the Bronze medallist (Yoko Ono) of the women's -70kg in the individual competition (where they didn't fight against each other, anyway)...
