The Judo World Championships will take place in Abu Dhabi from May 19th to 23rd.
Craziness !! Fabi and Nils, two judoka from the Judo Club Uster, have qualified for the World Cup and are fighting for the medals.
Fabienne Kocher – May 19 -52kg
Fabienne is world number 18 in her weight class. After a long dry spell without any podium finishes, the 30-year-old was recently able to show again that she is among the best in the world. At the crucial point, Fabienne won the gold medal at the Grand Slam in Dushanbe (TJK) and shot back up the world rankings. Now we can look forward to the World Championships – the athlete from JC Uster has always shown in the past that she is a force to be reckoned with at major championships. We remember the World Cup bronze and fifth place at the 2021 Olympics.
Nils Stump – 20. Mai -73kg
Does this man need any introduction? With his World Cup gold medal last year, Nils gained notoriety throughout the country beyond the sport and is the figurehead of Swiss judo. But the high at the World Cup was followed by a temporary low – a shoulder injury forced the top athlete to take a break. But now Nils Stump is back on the tatami. And how could he prove this to the competition more impressively than with the gold medal at the Grand Slam in Dushanbe? The world number 8 definitely wants to defend his title. He will face very tough competition that won’t make things easy for him. Tension is guaranteed in the -73kg class.
