She was in a fight with Juul Franssen for the one spot, but got injured during the Europa League meet in Lisbon last week. Turns out she tore a hamstring and is out for 6-9 months What a sad way to lose your Olympic dream considering this is a club competition with no pts allocation (Champions League I think).

In some way or another, IJF's poster boy will be at the Olympics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saeid Mollaei will fight for Mongolia https://judoinside.com/news/3765/Saeid_Mollaei_gets_Mongolian_passport wow. for a moment I thought it's a kind of April Fools' Day but then I noticed we are nowhere near April he is a real pro (and I don't mean professional). first he offered himself to Azerbaijan, then for some reasons it didn't work, next was Germany and he probably found out Germany is not a country you can obtain the citizenship overnight , so next option, Mongolia ! seriously who would expect that. as @phelps said he can't legally participate in Tokyo but I agree with you, IJF will find a way for him. but then it's also an IOC matter. IJF already created a new profile for him https://www.ijf.org/judoka/59210 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
