There are a lot of years and a lot of world championships between 2007 and 2023. There have also been 4 Olympic Games in that time span. Paris being Paris though, there are champions upon champions from throughout that period arriving to continue enjoying competing at one of the most prestigious and notorious events in our judo lives. In fact, there are judoka reconvening here, bringing with them a multitude of world championship gold medals, including the undisputed king of the world, Teddy Riner.
No less than 32 world titles and 8 Olympic titles are being waged against the rest. The most densely populated category of champions is U90kg with one Olympic champion, Lasha Bekauri (GEO), and 3 world champions: Serbia’s Nemanja Majdov (2017), Dutchman Noel Van 't End (2019) and Korea’s Donghan Gwak (2015).
There are 3 world champions in the always spectacular U81kg category, going by the names of Grigalashvili (GEO), Casse (BEL) and Muki (ISR), the first two in Paris as the first and second seeds. Muki, unseeded, could have found himself against either very early but fate placed him in a different pool and so there is a chance to see all 3 world champions in the semi-finals.
