Robyn was presented a special spirit of Judo trophy for her effort during the event.
Robyn was asked to compete in a Hackney under 12 girls team. They gave it everything but didn’t make it to the medals. Ellis fought for the home club in an under 12 boy’s team and after 5 rounds they just missed out on the bronze.
Valentine, Maddy & Sophie made up an all Ealing Pre-Cadet girls team. This category had some serious class with national medalists all over the place. Our girls had a fantastic day though and after 5 very tough rounds they came away with the team trophy and a gold medal each.

At lunchtime on the Saturday a very special event was held, specifically to remember Jamie McDonald and to raise money for the Brain Tumour Charity. A team of ‘Legends’ was amassed and pitted against a team of children and a fantastic team match took place. The children won of course, 20-0! Luke, Peter, Ellis & Robyn took part and had the great fortune to grip up with Angelo Parisi, John Buchanan, Kerry Pulvirenti (Jamie’s Coach) and Loretta Cusack-Doyle. Ellis was also named children’s team captain!

Nekoda has an incredible day in Baku, beating top class opponents, including a jaw-dropping semi-final win against world number one Dorjsuren of of Mongolia (winning moment pictured above). In the final she lost out against Yoshida of Japan but to add a silver medal to last year’s bronze puts Bekoda firmly into a list of elite British judoka. Only 14 Brits have ever won more than one medal at a world championships and Nekoda makes that 15!

An incredible event with countries from all over Europe as well as a team from Japan. Certainly the biggest arena our -15 team have ever fought in. They put in a fantasy doc performance in some huge groups and their determination paid dividends.

46 judoka in the group and the French number one was his opposition in the final.

Valentine was so successful with her counter techniques today, winning 3 out of 4 contests by Ippon.
peter won 2 and lost 2 to place 9th and Mounir was unable to progress. We are looking forward to attending Again next year with some young -18s, for a new and even bigger challenge.

BRONZE Tohgo Kimura
Connor and Yacine made it to the second round of pools but went out at that stage.
Ryan and Natasha each placed 5th on the day, however a discrepancy in Ryan’s final match was discovered and appealed and Ryan’s place on the British senior team was restored. The appeals process was thorough and evidence-based and we are very grateful to the NRC and High performance team for reviewing footage and amending the results of the day correctly.
Bekoda fought with her friends from RSCC, France. The team included Bouchard, Agbegnenou and other big names and it was a complete privilege to see Nekoda share the mat with them. Suffice it to say that crazy team won gold!
This prestigious event is only open to the top 16 players in each weight in the world and forms an essential part of the Olympic qualifying process. Nekoda places 5th, beating the Rio 2016 champ along the way and although there was no medal, there were some valuable ranking points and some great fights!
