16 gold medals are at stake in judo at the Ankorondrano Gymnasium from August 26 to 28.
The judokas of the islands of the Indian Ocean go into action the day after the opening ceremony at the Ankorondrano Gymnasium. 28 Malagasy judokas will defend the Malagasy colors for these 11th Games of the Islands. 16 gold medals including fourteen individually and two in teams are at stake. “We are aiming for the maximum number of gold medals at home. The 2019 results were before. This year, we have a great generation of judokas and they were able to take part in quite a few competitions, including recently the Games of La Francophonie in Kinshasa and the African junior championship at home.
The fighters are motivated, but it will also be heavy in front against the Reunionese and the Mauritians ” confided to us, Mamy Randriamasinoro, national technical director within the Malagasy judo federation. According to the rules of the games, each country has the right to enter two fighters per category. Laura Rasoanaivo, double African champion, multiple gold medalist at the Continental Open and gold medalist at the Games of La Francophonie is one of the real chances of the Big Island at these home games.
