WORLD judo CHAMPIONSHIPS (for men)

Created in 1956 in Japan, 21 countries took part. The first edition of the world championships took place in Tokyo, Japan in 1956. There were no weight classes at the time and Japanese judoka Shokichi Natsui (1925-2006) became the first world champion in history, defeating fellow countryman Yoshihiko Yoshimatsu (1920-1988) in the final. The second world championship was also held in Tokyo two years later, with the Japanese winning the top two spots in the competition for the second time. In 1961, the championship was held outside Japan for the first time, and Dutch judoka Anton Geesink (1934-2010) defeated the prior world champion, Koji Sone (1928-1981), in Paris, France, to become the first non-Japanese world champion.

The 1965 World Judo Championships were held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and weight classes were implemented for the first time with the addition of the -68 kg, -80 kg, and +80 kg categories. Judo had become an Olympic sport at the 1964 Summer Olympics held in Tokyo, and a permanent sport after a brief absence at the 1968 Summer Olympics.

World Judo Championship Results

1956-2009

 

 

 

 

 

“On July 12th, 1951 nine countries met in a private room at Choy’s Chinese restaurant in London to form the International Judo Federation. It was an historic moment for judo, demonstrating that an Eastern combat method had become a modern international sport. This was the beginning of the world judo movement, the start of the world judo championships, and a key step leading to the inclusion of judo in the Olympic programme.”

Three weight classes were implemented for the first time with the addition of the -68 kg, -80 kg, and +80 kg categories. At this World Championship the Japanese had such confidence in INOKUMA Isao that they entered him into Open division. It was their expectation that he would meet the legendary  Dutch giant Anton GEESINK who a year earlier had taken the Olympic Openweight title shattering the Japanese dream of all four gold medals on their home soil. GEESINK was very skilful and 40 kgs heavier than INOKUMA but after winning the heavyweight title the previous day and only just defeating both Japanese fighters, Sakaguchi and Matsuoka. GEESINK surprised the world and announced his retirement. INOKUMA was left with a much easier task and emerged as the Openweight World Champion.

1977 Judo World Championships

The World Judo Championships had to be held in Barcelona, Spain, from September 19 to September 24, 1977.

 

Problem named Taiwan (Cancelattion)

When Spain were granted 1977 WCH they had to agree to this. However at last 1976 WJCH in Madrid the IJF had to modify their code when the teams had arrived so that the event could continue. They had to comply with insistence of the Spanish Goverment that the Taiwan anthem and flag should not be prominent. Because the teams had already arrived in Madrid and because this broke no regulation of the IJF and only modified their code they agreed. Consequently no anthems or flags of any country were displayed.

But as a result of this situation IJF understandably required assurances that these compromise conditions would again be acceptable to the Spanish Goverment. However Spanish Goverment further altered these conditions when in the last few weeks before 1977 WCH were going to be staged they demanded that the Taiwan team could not wear their badges nor have the name of their country (Republic of China) displayed. Furthermore when Taiwan applied for visas at the Spanish consulate in Hong Kong they were refused.

Taiwan are members of the IJF. Their members have often been prominent in major events and Charles Palmer (President of the IJF that time) ranks them as second strongest country in Asia. Communist China are not affiliated and have never sought to join the Federation. Palmer believes that Spain had signed a trade agreement with Communism China, one condition of which is that Taiwan should be regarded as a province of China and not as country in its own right.

Palmer after receiving supporting votes from eight of the ten memebers of his directing committee who answeared his cables, cancelled the championships which would have attracted about 50 countries.

This issue of course goes far beyond judo. Last year before the Montreal Olympics similar demands were made by Canadian Goverment. Since the teams had already arrived in Montreal the IOC had to bow to the demands of the Canadians and renounce a basic principle of the Olympics: That the athletes of any country recognised by the IOC may assemble in the Olympic city without hindrance. Palmer at the time pointed out that the IOC's decision set a dangerous precedent for international sport.

2001 World Championship

            MUNICH

The 2001 World Judo Championships were the 22nd edition of the World Judo Championships, and were held at Olympiahalle in Munich, Germany

 

Just as they did two years ago in Birmingham, Japan dominated the opening day of the World Judo Championships in Munich on Thursday. And the star of the Japanese team was the prodigiously gifted Kosei INOUE who once again stole the headlines. The first day promised much with two current Olympic champions and three current world champions on display. There was also a sizeable crowd, although it did take time to pick up throughout the day...

2007    World Judo Championships

RIO De JANEIRO

BRAZIL

 

The 2007 World Judo Championships are the 25th edition of the Judo World Championships, and were held at the Rio Olympic Arena, usually called Arena Multiuso, that was built for the 2007 Pan-American Games, in Jacarepaguá, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil from September 13 to September 16, 2007. The competition gathered the sport's top athletes in Rio de Janeiro, with only a few exceptions, due to injuries. Among the high-profile injured judokas that were unable to participate were Brazil's Flávio Canto, bronze medallist in the -81 kg category at the 2004 Summer Olympic Games, who tore a ligament in his right elbow during the 2007 Pan American Games (during the event, Canto participated as a commentator for the Brazilian paid sports channel, Sportv); and Japan's Tadahiro Nomura, the three-time Olympic champion and heavy favorite in the -60 kg category was forced to withdraw only a few weeks before the event due to injury (his replacement was able to place 7th in the competition).
