The closing event to accumulate points in the ranking of the International Judo Federation (IJF) will take place in Budapest, Hungary, home of the World Championship.
Eight Cubans will take part in the Hungarian contest, led by the 2012 Olympic champion, weighing more than 78 kilograms, Idalys Ortiz, first in the universal list of her category, with her ticket to Tokyo-2020 guaranteed.
She will be accompanied by Arnaes Odelín (57 kg), Maylín del Toro (63 kg) and Kaliema Antomarchi (78k g), while the men will be Orlando Polanco (66), Magdiel Estrada (73), Iván Silva (90) and Andy Granda ( +100).
For the Cuban Navy, the most important thing will be to find the optimal way, just under two months before the start of the Games, in a tournament that will bring together 12 of the top 14 places in the ranking world.
Idalys, the main Olympic medal option among girls, will not see action in Hungary against her main rivals in Tokyo 2020, Japan’s Akira Sone and France’s Romane Dicko, but will see first-rate figures, such as Sarah Asahina, also from Japan. that has had close battles with the Antillean in the past.
