Is the Serbian domination U90kg unique?

European Champion Aleksandar Kukolj is still the world number one of the world ranking. His compatriot Nemanja Majdov took the world title and ranked number two. The current Serbian domination is unique for this relatively modest judo country, but now all is possible. When small judo federation Israel last year won two Olympic medals, the sport got a tremendous boost and Israel organizes the next European Championships. Although this epic lead is not entirely unique, it doesn’t happen very often.
