Every day i see a different sport saying they've moved a tournament from China to somewhere else. China is a great place for the international sports fan, unfortunately that’s about where the compliments have to stop. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Looking at the rankings they are most likely to go with men's -58kg, men's -80kg, women's -49kg and women's -57kg. Only the men's -68kg has an athlete with a ranking, the other three weight classes do not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although to be fair, competing for Bolivia instead of Japan might also have cost them a lot in terms of infrastructure and training options.
