Judo never fails in Alicante. The Super Cup children and cadets and the training event for the little ones filled the Pedro Ferrándiz throughout the weekend. It is one of the most important competitions in this discipline and categories, since it featured competitors from the Netherlands and Switzerland. In addition, 200 coaches and 30 referees from all over Spain were registered in the Super Cup, of which 20 are official referees assigned by the organization. To all of them must be added the thirty volunteers who collaborated in the organization and development of these days on the tatamis of Pedro Ferrándiz.
