Yesterday morning, the mayor, Telmo Martín, greeted the current world champion, Fran Garrigós, as well as the president of the Galician Judo Federation, Mario Muzas, and the president of the Spanish Judo Federation, Juan Carlos Barcos. A total of 150 high-level athletes come together at this congress and participated last night in the award ceremony for the best athletes of 2023.
The mayor highlighted “discipline and tenacity” as one of the successes of any sport, but he highlighted the values of judo and congratulated Garrigós for the achievements achieved so far as the fourth Spaniard to win the gold medal in a Judo World Cup . He joins Olympic champions Miriam Blasco (1991) and Isabel Fernández (1997), and Niko Shera (2018, 2021).
He was junior world champion in 2014, he arrived as the current European champion (2021, 2022). The Spanish judoka had already achieved a bronze medal in the 2021 World Cup, and now he is climbing to the top.
