Judo is a sport with a presence in many international settings, whether sporting, social, or even political, in the broad sense of the term. In the midst of the core tasks of the IJF, President Vizer always finds time to devote time to initiatives aimed at the youngest judoka, a cohort that he supports consistently. This time, following all covid protocols of course, the IJF decided to organise educational activities following the Tashkent Grand Slam. The purpose was to give extra motivation to a generation of young children in Uzbekistan, who are going through a difficult time because of the pandemic, as most of the dojos have been closed and competitions have been cancelled.
