The national judo team, which achieved an outstanding performance in the 2023 Guayaquil Pan American Open by obtaining three medals (two silver and one bronze), is getting ready to face new challenges. Our judokas will seek to continue adding points for their qualification to the Santiago 2023 Pan American Games and the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.

This tournament will mark the return of Yuliana Bolívar to the tatami, after overcoming an injury, in search of her classification.
“It is a pride and happiness for us to host an international event again. We work to keep up with the organization, while our judokas go out to compete as equals against any opponent in the world. We have made judo a family. We have planted the new generation of judo and we continue to fight so that our projects do not stop and so that the athlete is a professional”, said the president of the Peruvian Sports Federation, María Martínez.
On Friday the 14th and Saturday the 15th the event will break fire with the individual and team Pan American Sub-13. On Sunday the 16th, the Under-15s will take part in the team category, but the Pan American Mini Prix will also take place.
