Olympic medalists in judo. Judo competition calendar

The main event in the sports life of the planet - the Summer Olympic Games in August 2016 will bring together thousands of athletes, coaches and fans in Brazil.

In the framework of the XXXI Olympiad, which will be held for the first time in South American Brazil from 5 to 21 August 2016, judokas will compete for medals for the 13th time. After a triumphant performance in London, everyone in Rio expects new victories from the Russians. As always, fans of the flexible path will be among the first to identify the champions and prize-winners of the 2016 Games. The tournament will take place from 6 to 12 August. Every day, throughout the week, the winners of the awards in one weight for men and one for women will be determined.

At this time in Brazil there is a calendar winter and the temperature ranges from +18 to +25 ° C. But since judo competitions are held indoors, judo athletes should not have any problems. The 2013 World Cup in Rio was held at the Maracanazinho sports complex, next to the world famous football Maracana. However, at the 2016 Games, judo will receive a new place of registration.

The competitions will take place in the Olympic hall No. 2 in the Barra da Tijuca area, where the Olympic village, the Olympic park, the main press center and the television center will be located. This is the western part of the city, surrounded by lagoons, mountains and parks, which should make Barro a cozy place for athletes and guests of the Games. In addition to judokas, representatives of 14 other sports will compete here: boxing, table tennis, badminton, weightlifting, three types of gymnastics, cycling, water sports, basketball, fencing, taekwondo, wrestling, handball, golf and tennis. According to the project, the capacity of the stands is ten thousand seats.

According to the plan of the Brazilian government, the Barra district will greatly benefit from hosting the Games on its territory: after all, sports facilities and educational institutions, new shops, residential and entertainment centers have been built here, and transport infrastructure has been improved. In addition, rehabilitation programs will be carried out in parks and river networks. In Barre, after the Games, the Olympic Training Center with 40,000 sq.m. facilities, two training grounds for 12 Olympic sports, a nutrition, rehabilitation, sports and clinical medicine area, and a research laboratory unique to South America.

The city authorities will not have time to open the promised metro in the Barra da Tijuca area, where the Olympic Park and the Olympic Village are located, so there is an urgent route of high-speed buses (BRT), which run on a dedicated lane, which should make it easier for spectators of the competition to get to the sports arenas ... Transport traffic in Rio de Janeiro is one of the pressing problems in the city, for which guests of the Olympic Games need to be prepared.

In March 2016, test competitions were held in Rio, which are mandatory for all sports and all facilities where Olympic tournaments will be held. It fell to the judoka to check the readiness of Rio de Janeiro for the Games on March 8 and 9.

The competitions were held on two tatami mats of the new arena Carioca 1, which is located in the Olympic Park. Carioca - this word in Brazil is called everything that comes from Rio de Janeiro. In the Olympic Park, three sports palaces bear this name and differ only in numbers - 1, 2 and 3. During the Games, judokas will compete in Carioca 2, and the sports palace where the test competitions were held will become the home for basketball players. The three Carioca look like twins, only the first palace is slightly larger.

The test competitions could hypothetically be watched by 16 thousand spectators: that is how many people can fit in the stands of the Carioca 1 arena. Of course, much fewer fans came: the tournament was non-status and had much more importance for the organizers than for the participants and spectators. However, the support was warm. The guys from the local judo sections, who made up the overwhelming majority in the stands, cheered violently and enthusiastically, especially worried about their comrades. More than 120 athletes from seven countries took part in the competition: Brazil, France, Great Britain, Japan, Germany, Hungary and Lebanon. The Russian national team did not take part in the tournament. The hosts of the tournament won nine test competition medals. They were mainly young athletes - medalists of the World Youth Championships and the Olympic Games, who in a few years will replace the current leaders of the national team. For them, it was at this tournament that preparations began for the 2020 Games in Tokyo. The tournament allowed testing the competition area, the operation of electronic scoreboards, changing rooms and other services for athletes, the organization of work with spectators, as well as the work of the entire team, including volunteers at this facility.

If the Olympic medal is to become the main souvenir from Rio for athletes, then the mascots of the Olympics and Paralympics - Vinicius and Tom - will be memorable for the fans. Vinicius is an Olympic mascot, an animal that looks like a cat and a monkey at the same time. In fact, he has collected in himself the features of all the animals of Brazil and personifies the fauna of the country. Tom is the Paralympic mascot, a funny, friendly tree with a bushy crown on its head, personifies all the rich flora of Brazil. They got their names in honor of the legendary natives of Brazil - Vinicius de Morais, poet and songwriter, and Tom Jobim, composer, singer and one of the founders of the bossa nova musical style. Their most famous creation is the song "Garota de Ipanema" ("Girl from Ipanema"), which, without exaggeration, the whole world knows (the English version of the song was once performed by Frank Sinatra) and is strongly associated with Rio de Janeiro and its famous beaches.

For Russians, a flight to Rio will not be easy - there is no direct flight from Russia to Brazil, so delegates will have to travel to South America with transfers in Europe, and some also with a landing in Sao Paulo. Rio has a different climate and time zone. Brazil, one of the five richest countries in the world in terms of population, area, wood reserves, fresh water and mineral deposits, and in the world of judo has a fairly strong position. This Latino has over three million fans of the flexible path.

Judo at the Olympic Games, competition schedule, video!

Judo is a martial art that originated in Japan. In the traditional sense, this is not so much a struggle as philosophy. The creator of judo is a Japanese martial artist who developed this unarmed fighting system. Modern judo is divided into traditional and sports. The traditional trend pays a lot of attention to philosophy and issues of education of the spirit, while in sports, the main emphasis is on competitive practice. Sports judo is present at the Rio Summer Olympics. For the first time this sport entered the program of the Summer Olympics in 1964, when the Olympics were held in Tokyo. It is not surprising that all the gold awards went to the Japanese. Women's judo first appeared at the 1992 Barcelona Games.
