-48kg | -52kg | -57kg | -63kg | -60kg | -66kg | -73kg
The first World Judo Tour event of the year opened with seven weight categories on day one as the women’s -48kg, -52kg, -57kg and -63kg categories and men’s -60kg, -66kg and -73kg categories all thrilled the sell-out Bercy crowd.
As the judoka brought the crowd to their feet throughout an enthralling day, French superstar Teddy RINER held an autograph session during the break and attracted a crowd only he could merit.
The Paris Grand Slam is a complete judo and family experience with countless activities promoting judo and ensuring the sport’s unique moral code is experienced by all visitors this weekend including those who may be witnessing their first judo competition.
A special photo exhibition highlighted the 25th anniversary of International Convention of Children’s Rights with pictures from IJF Media Director and Judo for Peace Director Nicolas MESSNER whose work has included developing a project using judo as a social development tool in Burundi and in the Great Lake Region of Africa.
All the pictures on display were taken during educational activities led by the IJF throughout the world, during Judo for Peace or Judo for Children programmes. All the programmes are designed to offer development tools to the national federations.
The activities are organised in collaboration with the French Judo Federation and in cooperation with the NGO Sport Sans Frontières (Sport without borders) who believe it is every child’s right to be able to practice judo. Judo demonstrations are taking place next the sponsor village and children can draw images which are presented next to the photo exhibition.
After day one in Paris, the momentum lies with Japan who lead the medal table with two gold medals in addition to one silver and three bronze medals. Hosts France are second with one gold medal, one silver and bronze.
