(ATR) "Viene lo mejor del continente" anuncia este lunes el titular de una publicación deportiva cubana sobre el próximo Campeonato Panamericano de Judo en La Habana dentro de dos semanas.

En el primer semestre de 2016 la isla caribeña se ha dado un lujo en el Caribe con el deporte creado por Jigoro Kano: a fines de enero auspició uno de los torneos del circuito mundial Grand Prix, y ahora entre el 28 y 30 de abril, será la sede del certamen continental que aportará a los competidores 400 puntos para el ranking olímpico.

La importancia de la justa justifica que nuevamente regrese a La Habana el presidente de la Federación Internacional de Judo (IJF, por sus siglas en inglés),Marius Vizer, según han confirmado los organizadores a Around the Rings.

La página web de la IJF, al cerrar las inscripciones oficiales,informó la asistencia de 25 países con Brasil,Canadá,Estados Unidos, Argentina y México, cada uno con 18 judokas, entre ellos estrellas como la campeona olímpica y mundial de los 78 kg, Kayla Harrison,26 años, oriunda de Middletown, Ohio,ganadora de bronce en el Grand Prix de La Habana y actual líder del ranking mundial.

La colombiana tricampeona mundial en 70 kg., Yuri Alvear; la argentina monarca del orbe en 48 kg., Paula Pareto; y la cubana Idalys Ortiz, titular olímpica y del mundo en más de 78 kg, son otras de las figuras entre las damas.

El subcampeón olímpico Asley González (Cuba) en los 90 kg , el subcampeón mundial José Armenteros (Cuba) en 100; el número tres del ranking, Antoine Valois-Fortier, (Canadá) en 81; el plurimedallista panamericano Travis Stevens (EE.UU) en 81, y una temible "armada" de Brasil con Felipe Kitadai (60), Victor Peñalver (81), Luciano Correa (100), Rafael Silva y David Moura (más de 100), sobresalen entre los hombres.

Numerosos deportistas podrían confirmar posiciones de clasificación y otros acercarse a las mismas con vistas al torneo olímpico de Río de Janeiro en agosto próximo en esta edición panamericana que tendrá por escenario nuevamente el Coliseo de la Ciudad Deportiva.

Varios expertos consultados por ATR coincidieron que en el judo olímpico Brasil, en su condición de sede y por una tradición reconocida, podría conseguir varias medallas en su objetivo de lograr su mejor actuación histórica en Juegos Olímpicos mientras Japón, en su camino hacia Tokio-2020, estaría en condiciones de una relevante faena, alentados, además, por el espíritu de Jigoro Kano.

Sinner-Alcaraz, the duel that came to succeed the three phenomenons

Beyond the final result, Roland Garros left the feeling that the Italian and the Spaniard will shape the great duel that came to help us through the duel for the end of the Federer-Nadal-Djokovic era.

Table tennis: Brazil’s Bruna Costa Alexandre will be Olympic and Paralympic in Paris 2024

She is the third in her sport and the seventh athlete to achieve it in the same edition; in Santiago 2023 she was the first athlete with disabilities to compete at the Pan American level and won a medal.

Rugby 7s: the best player of 2023 would only play the medal match in Paris

Argentinian Rodrigo Isgró received a five-game suspension for an indiscipline in the circuit’s decisive clash that would exclude him until the final or the bronze match; the Federation will seek to make the appeal successful.

Rhonex Kipruto, owner of the world record for the 10000 meters on the road, was suspended for six years

The Kenyan received the maximum sanction for irregularities in his biological passport and the Court considered that he was part of a system of “deliberate and sophisticated doping” to improve his performance. He will lose his record and the bronze medal at the Doha World Cup.

Katie Ledecky spoke about doping Chinese swimmers: “It’s difficult to go to Paris knowing that we’re going to compete with some of these athletes”

The American, a seven-time Olympic champion, referred to the case of the 23 positive controls before the Tokyo Games that were announced a few weeks ago and shook the swimming world. “I think our faith in some of the systems is at an all-time low,” he said.
