Results for Paralympic Judo Competitions
Judo has officially been part of the Paralympic Games since
the Seoul Summer games in 1988. Since then, the number of men
and women competitors has grown many-fold and with close to
150 Paralympic Judo athletes expected to participate in the
2008 Beijing Games, Paralympic judo continues to enjoy growing
popularity.
All athletes participating in Paralympic judo are blind or
visually impaired. They compete under the same rules as all
judo athletes with the exception that instead of a standard
mat, that visually shows the boundaries of the competition
area, they compete on one that uses different textures to
mark the zones.
Through the year, these athletes participate in events throughout
the country and you can follow the results of those competitions
right here.
