When to watch judo during the 2024 Paris Olympic Games

During the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, the mats will be packed with action as judokas square off from Saturday, July 27 to Saturday, August 3.

Two sessions will be held each day. Most days, the first session of the day will begin at 4:00 a.m. ET and run until 8:00 a.m. ET. Following a short break, athletes will return to the mats to decide who will stand atop the podium. Expect to watch live medal bouts, as well as additional semifinal and repechage action, between 10:00 a.m. ET and 1:00 p.m. ET.

Venue

The judo competition will take place within the host city, steps away from the Eiffel Tower, inside the Champ de Mars Arena. The temporary structure was set up on the Champ de Mars in 2021, for use as a venue for art, fashion and sports while Paris’ iconic Grand Palais undergoes renovations.

His father, Nick, qualified for the 1980 U.S. Olympics Team but never competed due to the U.S. boycott of the Moscow Games. His grandfather, Yoshisada coached the U.S. Olympics Judo team in 1988 and 1992.
