Judo

Judo competitions have been held since the 1st Games. Judo is a type of martial arts in which, along with throws, choking and painful holds on the arms are allowed. Athletes perform in a kimono (loose jacket with a belt and pants) on special mats - tatami. To achieve victory, the attacking wrestler must either throw the opponent onto the tatami on his back, or carry out a hold for 30 seconds, or a painful or choking technique.
