HISTORY OF JUDO IN COLOMBIA: “Although it cannot be specified exactly, according to Professor Juan Manuel
Mantilla Roballo (fifth dan black belt), the first person to teach judo in Colombia was the
Japanese professor TESHIO WATANABE, who arrived in Colombia in 1955. Simultaneously in Valle de Cauca
He taught judo to the Japanese teacher Subsumo Takahashi. In 1963 he arrived in Colombia, settling in Bogotá, the electrical engineer Isamu Matsuyama, third dan, 24 years old. He teamed up with Professor Casuist Kashiwaya and they opened a Dojo which they called “Japanese Academy of Judo Bodokan”.
In 1966, the FIRST NATIONAL JUDO CHAMPIONSHIP was held at the Olympic Coliseum in the city of Cali. In August 1968, Professor Sun Oh Van from South Korea arrived in Colombia. Professor Van imparts his knowledge at the Dojo of the University of America, where the Bogotá judo league is formed. In
1969 the Colombian Federation of Judo is created and the first judo delegation travels to Valencia for an international exchange. The most relevant results achieved by Colombian judo at the international level are: the seventh place achieved by the judoka Yuri Alvear and the ninth place obtained by María Valles in the 81 kg division.
During the 2008 Olympic Games. Currently, the Colombian Judo Federation exhibits achievements of the level

Judo categories: “The categories in judo are divided into Grades, (student), (AND DAN, MASTER). THE HIGHEST GRADE possible is the TWELFTH DAN, achieved only by JIGORO KANO, its creator and the only Shia (doctor). The highest degree achieved subsequently is the red belt, achieved by only thirteen 10th Dan men.
“The belt colors for Dan grades are: 1st to 5th Dan, BLACK, 6th to 8th Dan, RED AND WHITE; 9th to 11th, RED; and 12th DAN, WHITE.
The male categories are divided into 10 levels, by the weight of the judoka, in weight brackets from more than 95 kgs. less than 60 kg. The female ones present 7 levels, from more than 72 kgs. less than 48 weight. In the Olympic events and world championships there has always been a great Japanese superiority in the male categories, while among women, the British, Latin American and Spanish have excelled.
“Capacity of a Judoka”: The capacity for suffering is a characteristic of all Judokas; and they must have, in addition to good physical condition, great flexibility, speed, speed of movement, power of anticipation, and use of the opponent’s force to unbalance him. The Judokas (2) face each other on a tatami or playing area.

“A characteristic of all those who practice judo is personal self-control, and RESPECT FOR THE OPPOSITE and the
Regulation. As in most Eastern fighting sports, sportsmanship is above all else.” That’s how it is.
Today’s topic. On my Website, dated Saturday June 25, 2022, I received a Press Release from World Athletics, (IAAF) chaired by Sebastian COI. (MEDIA ALERT) Sydney McLaughlin broke the 400m hurdles ‘RM’ with 51:41 in Eugene on Saturday June 25th at the ‘USA’ Championships.
“McLaughlin does more magic with a world record 51.41 and feels there is more to come.” Sydney McLaughlin does not run
often, but he produces memorable performances every time he steps on the floor. With a sizzling world record of
51.41.in 400 Mts. with Women’s Hurdles in a late class at the ‘USA’ Championships on Saturday (25), McLaughlin has now set world records in three of her last four 400m Hurdles finals.
Overcoming obstacles effortlessly and without pressure, McLaughlin broke her own record of 51.46
the Tokyo Olympics, where he captured the gold medal. McLaughlin set his first world record for
51.90 at this same track, Hayward Field in Eugene, during last year’s ‘USA’ Olympic Trials and will return here next month for the Oregon 22 World Championships in Athletics.
“I knew it was going to be quick,” Mclaughlin said. “I looked at the time and was very happy with it, being able to slowly progress towards lower and lower times, and I think there are still things I could work on. I think there is a
little else in the tank there, so hopefully when it’s time we can empty it completely.” McLaughlin
he had a lead of about six meters going into the final straight and that margin had grown significantly by the time
reached the finish line. NCAA champion Britton Wilson posted a PB of 53.08 for second place and Shamir Little,
the 2015 world silver medalist who missed out on the ‘USA’ Olympic team last year for one place, he was third with a season best of 53.92.
McLaughlin was a 2019 world silver medalist behind former world record holder Dalilah Muhammad,
who has a wild card entry to the World Championships as the defending champion and did not compete in the World Championships
‘USA.’. They are likely to meet next month, where McLaughlin said: “We want to put on a show for the world.” Sidney McLaughlin, born August 7, 1999. Coach Bobby Kersee. She is no stranger to beating
records. From his earliest years in the sport, he has made his mark in sprints and hurdles. But athletics has always been in McLaughlin’s genes.
He was born in New Jersey on August 1999 as the third of four children. His father, Willie, reached the semi-finals of the 400m at the 1884 ‘USA’ Olympic Trials, while his mother, Mary, was a high school runner. All of the McLaughlin siblings – older sister Morgan, older brother Taylor and younger brother Ryan – showed promise in athletics, but Sydney has been the most successful of the quartet. He jumped to the
First came to fame in 2014 at the age of 14 when he began setting world best age records. That year, he lowered the best world records for 14-year-olds to 13.44 in the 100m. with Hurdles and 55.63 in the 400 Mts.
with Hurdles, both over the senior height barriers.
The last performance came at the ‘USA’ Under-20 Championship where he finished in second place, a qualifying position for the Under-20 Championship in Eugene that year. But at 14 years old, McLaughlin was too young to compete there. In 2015, McLaughlin was old enough to make his world championships debut. Despite being the second youngest in the field, she won the 400m Hurdles at the U-18 World Championships in
Cali, finishing nearly a second ahead of his closest opponent.
As the Olympic year progressed in 2016, McLaughlin’s progress continued and he set a world record
Under-18’s of 54.46 to win at the New Balance Nationals. She then competed in the US trials’ and, at the age of 16, she placed third in an Under-20 world record in 2017 at 53.82. She also ran an astonishing 49.85 split in the 4 x 400 meters at the New Balance Nationals, capping off a phenomenal high school career.
In 2018 his studies at the University of Kentucky. Although her college season was long, it gave her the opportunity to prove herself in a variety of disciplines. During that year’s indoor season, McLaughlin, still only 18 years old, ran 36.12 in the 300m and 50.36 in the 400m, the fastest times ever recorded.

of the Diamond League a few weeks later, where McLaughlin won with 52.85, beating Muhammad by 1.01.
Muhammad returned to her best at the 2019 Doha World Championships in Athletics, but McLaughlin pushed her all the way to the final. Muhammad won in 52.16, once again bettering the world record, while McLaughlin finished second in 52.23 to become, at age 20, the second fastest woman in history. The friendly rivalry between the two continued into 2021, when it was McLaughlin’s turn to score a win without
precedent in US testing. There he broke the mark of Muhammad, who had been fighting against
injuries and Covid-19 earlier in the year, he finished second with 52.42. It looked like the pair would continue to push each other for faster times and they did: McLaughlin picked up where he left off in 2022. He started his year with a 100m hurdles race in April and made his 40m season debut. Fences in early June. Next up was the USATF championship at Hayward Field, site of the 22nd World Championships in Athletics.

Back on the same track where he first broke the world record, McLaughlin won his heat in 54.11 and then took his semi-final in 52.90. The next day he hit his third world record, 51.41, and feels there could be more to come. A World Championship at home will provide the perfect setting.” Take note.
