HARSH METHODS OF TRAINING
In
direct connection with the complaint lodged by a group of athletes to the
national Japanese women on the actions from their coach Ryuji Sonoda, is IFJ
strongly to emphasize his total disapproval of such behavior. 'They have nothing to do with the
spirit and philosophy of judo taught by the founding master of the sport,
Jigoro Kano, said the President of the International Judo Federation, Mr.
Marius Vizer. IFJ particular
emphasis on the development and promotion of the moral code of judo. Judo is a physical and mental
education whose primary concern is to maintain the health and integrity

action contrary to these principles is banned. The IFJ will therefore take all necessary
measures
National Team Update:
A new start for Team Canada
Montreal, February 7, 2013 (Sportcom) – The first big event of the
season in Judo Grand Slam Paris begins Saturday in France. This is a very
different Canadian team that was at the London Games, which heads the to the tatami. A
team in transition that has eyes turned to Rio de Janeiro where will be the
next Summer Olympics in 2016.
Eight judokas present in London last summer, only Amy Cotton (78
kg), Antoine Valois-Fortier (81 kg) and Kelita
Zupancic (70 kg) will be in action this weekend.
The Grand Slam Paris will be an opportunity to discover new faces in the
national team. Young people like Catherine Beauchemin-Pinard (63
kg), Etiene Briand (73 kg), Patrick Gagné (66
kg),Ecaterina Guica (52 kg), Alexis Morin-Martel (73
kg) and Kyle Reyes (100 kg) who will
represent Judo Canada this weekend. Other recruits will join the group later in
February to compete in the Open Budapest in Hungary, the Oberwart in
Austria and the Grand Prix Dusseldorf, Germany.
"This is what was expected. After London, there would be a
change of guard in several categories. We still had a good group of
athletes who were in their second Olympic cycle, which is extremely
demanding. These are exceptions that succeed and to continue to maintain
for three cycles, says the coach of the national team, Nicolas Gill . We
have young people who are coming and are ready to take over. In most
categories, they will be two or three to fight for the leading position. '
Among the regulars on the international circuit, Marylise
Lévesque (78 kg), Michal Popiel (66 kg) andFrazer
Will (60 kg) have retired in recent months. Nicholas Tritton (73
kg) did the same after participating in her second Games in London. Some
veterans who have also experienced the Olympic remained within the
team. This is the case of Amy Cotton, Joliane Melançon (57
kg) and Catherine Roberge (78 kg). Catherine had a successful
performance last week at the Open Arlon in Belgium, she will be part of the
Canadian delegation to Paris. The men's side, Sasha Mehmedovic (66
kg) has chosen to continue his athletic career even if it is not funded by the
Canadian federation. Alex Émond (90 kg), had surgery on his right shoulder last fall, he should
return to competition in time to defend his Pan American champion at the end of
April.
"In their case, the commitment is on an annual basis for an Olympic
cycle of four years, says Gill. They are made at ages when the years are
catching up rapidly, and can decrease performance quite drastically. They
must also think of organizing their lives. It will be seen how the results
and decisions will be made accordingly. '
Games to Rio
Olympians Sergio Pessoa (60 kg), Kelita Zupancic and
Antoine Valois-Fortier is now the new pillars of the team. After surgery
on his left knee,Sergio could be back for the Pan American Championships in San
Jose, Costa Rica. Around these three young judokas Judo Canada sees world
class performances in the coming years.
those who are ahead of others, but that could change rapidly in the next
two years.'
"Antoine is a good example, says the coach. Four years ago, he
was a young athlete that we identified. We thought he had a good shot in
making the team in London, but it was not our best. He made his first
World Championships in 2011. His progress was gradual, a little faster at
a given times. His case is how things can change quickly and unlock when
investing in athletes who are younger and have room for improvement. '
Most of the new team will participate in their first World Championships
at the senior level next August in Rio de Janeiro. "It will allow
them to discover the magnitude of the task. Obviously, expectations are
more modest in their place, "says Gill.
Adapt to new rules
This season, the Canadian judokas will also have the challenge of
adapting to the many changes in regulations made by the International Judo
Federation in the aftermath of the London Games. In addition to the
logistical and structural changes (especially regarding weighing system and rescheduling
of some tournaments), some techniques will not be accepted during the fighting.
"Basically, the taking about adapting judo, there are things that
are no longer permitted. As in many sports, athletes develop all kinds of
methods and strategies to counter their opponents and keep fighting
tight. The purpose of this new rule is to stimulate the
offensive. Also, taken out are attacks at the legs, which were already
limited, will now be completely banned, "said Nicolas Gill.
"The athletes will have to adjust. Those who have a good
technical base and have a good adaptability will be the easier
course. These are the athletes a little more one-dimensional to be
severely affected by these changes there. '
The importance of the various competitions were also reviewed by the
international federation. World Cups have become Opens and Continental
will have far fewer points to provide judokas. "The Grand Slams and
Grand Prix will be much larger than before. The purpose of the federation
is to bring together the best athletes in a series of tournaments. From
their point of view, it is better for the show, "says Gill.
describe a good group of athletes. We have 18 months to analyze and
reflect on it before the next selection process. '
