Inside this Sport

Judo

For the 2008 Olympic judo competition, there are 14 weight classes, identical to those used at the 2004 Athens Games.  Prior to the Games, a draw will be held to determine where each judoka is placed in his or her respective bracket. In each class, the top four judokas are seeded to ensure they do not face each other early in the main draw.
