Judo: confirmation or disillusionment, the French are playing big at the Paris tournament. At the end of the European Championships in Montpellier, ten judokas had officially won their ticket for the Olympics.

A 2nd wave of selection will be announced in a few days, after the Baku Grand Prix, and some are playing very big in Paris. “We had eight medals in Tokyo. We are not hiding, we want to remain the leading French federation, we are aiming for between eight and ten,” President Stéphane Nomis said.
