The only good thing to take from the World Judo Championships, which will end today in the team competition, is the fact that there are still two years to fix, and all the warning lights are flashing long enough in advance.
The really important competition is the Olympic Games and nothing else.
The downside is what can be done with it?
Mentally, hard work is expected here.
Take a look at the Instagram pages of some of our athletes - their head is in judo as your head is in judo.
It is possible to understand them and you.
In such a short and unrewarding career, the few moments of glory are captured as much as possible.
Launches, campaigns, parties, trips, TV shows and other exposures outside the mattress.
You have to be really strong to continue to two Olympic games at the same level, and in current judo in Israel this does not happen.
You manage to keep your energy for only four years, and then you think about everything, except judo.
The judo branch, especially the male one, needs to recalculate its course.
Something is off.
It is possible to continue stealing opinions in the media about the team medal from the games in Tokyo, and it is possible and desirable to look the truth in the eyes.
Israel may have sent a team with depth to the current World Championship, which, unlike the Olympic Games, is really more difficult, and received a bleak picture of its true ranking in the world.

As mentioned, it's really not too late to fix it, but first of all you have to admit that there is a big problem, lower your nose, walk a little less upright for a fixed period of time - and get back to the basics.
It always worked in the past.
were we wrong
We will fix it!
