this competition will decide the selection for the olympics in the team, in men Reuveney need 8th place to overcome yoav omer for the place in the team
in women the race between Kantor Tibi and Spichakov is interesting, but overall what is heppening is that Spichakov needs to finish 2 places above the other 2, if not the one ahead from Tibi and Kantor will be selected, it is also interesting becose all of the team but Spichakov are training in as a team under shahar tzuberi (olympic bronze medalist from 2008)
we have never had close to this size and quality of a team in any sport in the country (not to mention all of the team is in the top 16 which is crazy), we have a whatsapp group for following olympic sports and usually when there is judo we only talk judo, today we allmost ignored the judo to do simulations for who will be in the olympics
