Qualification points for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games will be on offer as Madagascar hosts the African Judo Championships. The Championships is scheduled to begin tomorrow and run until Sunday 20 December 20. Competition will be held in Antananarivo, Madagascar’s capital city.
The African Judo Union (AJU) awarded Madagascar the event last month, with the organisation seeking to offer athletes’ an opportunity to earn qualification points for Tokyo 2020.
Winners in each weight division will earn 700 points.
The African Championships will only feature senior events.
The AJU cancelled cadet, junior and kata events due to the challenges posed by the coronavirus pandemic.
Organisers said no effort has been spared in ensuring the safety of delegations, with 33 nations expected to take part.
The event has been organised under COVID-19 protocols outlined by the International Judo Federation.
