The Grand Slam Dusseldorf is not the most glittering judo competition, but it will probably determine what Flickr, Shamilov, Primo and Gili Cohen will look like this summer

The Grand Slam Dusseldorf, which is set to launch today, is set to finally decide the battle for the remaining Olympic Games tickets for the Israeli judo delegation.

The most interesting fight in the men is in the weight category up to 66 kg. On the face of it, only a miracle in the form of a medal by Tal Flickr and Baruch Shamilov's failure can turn the bowl over and leave the fight between them until the end of March, so it is finally decided which of the two represented The reason for the fact that each country can send only one representative of each weight, any other script will finally seal the fight for Shamilov.

For women, the picture is clearer, weighing up to 52 kg, which is the only category of close combat. Geffen Primo needs reasonable competition to determine that she is the winner of the Olympic ticket at the expense of Gili Cohen, who failed to take advantage of Primo's absence in France two weeks ago. And not the list, only Cohen's heroic performance will continue this fight until the end of next month.
Those who do not participate in the competition are Sagi Muki, Purity Botball and Peter Palchik, who prefer to concentrate on the training camp in Tokyo, to which the team is scheduled to leave at the end of the month.
