The XX Ciudad de Avilés tournament survives virtually

N. GUTIÉRREZ. The XX City of Avilés Christmas Judo Tournament organized by the Judo Club Avilés has had to reinvent itself in the face of the covid, which forces online confrontations that are already underway.

Almost 50 pairs of competitors from the Avilés club led by Carlos Fernández participate, and in the adapted kata modality they show their skills to try to win a special edition of a City of Avilés that will go down in history, above all, for being the only one in this format with the hope that in 2021 it will return to its traditional format, such as the postponed Villa de Avilés tournament.
