24 November: Today's judo history in perspective

David Somerville beat John Buchanan U65kg in the Scottish Open in Glasgow of 1996.

At the women’s Grand Prix in 2001 in Spanish Seville, the Japanese women are strong. They win U48 Kayo Kitada, U57 with Yuki Yokosawa and the heavyweight with Mizuho Matsuzaki. The Spaniards win a lot of medals in their home country. But the concept of the commercial grand prix is still too poor to be a successful tournament. Kate Howey wins the U70 category beating Cecilia Blanco.

Tadahiro Nomura wins the Kano Cup in Tokyo in 1996 after his first of three Olympic titles at 60 kgs at the earlier Atlanta Games. Vincenzo Carabetta is the only European winner (U86).
