British Judo has utilised
the Domestic Ranking List to select a team for the Olympic Test
Event at the Excel London on Saturday 3 and Sunday 4 December.
LOCOG (London Organising
Committee of Olympic Games and Paralympic Games) will be replicating
day three (-57kg, -73kg) and day five (-70kg, -90kg) of the Olympic
programme. Teams have been invited to enter one athlete per category
except Great Britain who can enter more.
LOCOG expects around
100 athletes, 50 officials, 30 national technical officials, 39
international technical officials and 90 volunteers to join the
Judo Team to make the test event run smoothly.
While the two-day event
is run with the sole purpose of a rehearsal for the organisers,
the competitors will undoubtedly benefit from the invaluable experience
on offer.
Meanwhile five British
judoka have been selected for a December tour of Asia which will
see them compete at the Tokyo Grand Slam and Qingdao Grand Prix.
Ashley McKenzie, Colin Oates, Euan Burton, Sarah Adlington and
Karina Bryant will all battle in Asia.
