Nikolai Solodukhin's story about the judo tournament
Nikolai Solodukhin arrived in the Olympic village a few days after the start of the Olympics, immediately from the training camp that took place in Podolsk. “I didn’t want to be distracted once again, because I was tuned in to the main competitions in my life,” the Olympic champion explains. However, on the eve of the first fight, he was not allowed to sleep. Athletes from third world countries walked with might and main - they arranged ritual dances in the corridor, apparently hoping in this way to attract good luck.
The next day, at 10 am, the judoists went to Luzhniki. “To say that I was seriously preparing for the Olympics is to say nothing. Before the start of the judo tournament, I knew the whole draw. I knew that in my weight category all the most strong wrestlers planets: Frenchman Delving, Olympic champion of Montreal, Cuban Rodriguez. It was necessary to think over the preparation for the fight with each favorite. As a result of careful preparation, I won against the Cuban in 1.5-2 minutes. Also defeated Delving."

However, the Soviet athlete was surprised not at all by an eminent opponent, but by an unknown Mongolian judoka Damdin, with whom Solodukhin met in the final battle for Olympic gold. The sports intelligence of the USSR national team had no information about Damdin, and he was not exhausted by battles, since there were no stars of the first magnitude in his group. In addition, he weighed 12 kilograms more than Solodukhin, and specially drove weight before the fight, which meant that it cost him nothing to gain weight, and with it strength. In the fight, Nikolai almost three times was not defeated by ippon (a throw on the back, after which a clear victory is awarded - ed. note), but in the end, Solodukhin managed to hold a trick and, with a minimal margin, bring the fight to victory. “I learned the main lesson: there are no weak opponents at the Olympics,” Nikolai Ivanovich admits.

RUSSIA
For more than forty years of development of judo in our country, domestic athletes managed to take a firm place among the leaders of the world judo, and the successful activities of the judo organization secured the country's position as a leading European power. The judo section was opened in the USSR Sambo Federation in the early 60s. At the same time, our country became a member of the European Judo Union. The official date of birth of judo in the USSR is February 1972, when the Judo Federation was created, which set as its goal the development, promotion and popularization of judo in the country.

Shota Chochishvili won the first gold Olympic medal for the USSR in 1972 at the Olympic Games in Munich. The first women's Olympic medals in judo were won by Elena Petrova (bronze in Barcelona 1992) and Lyubov Bruletova (silver in Sydney 2000).

Main event sports life planets - the Summer Olympic Games in August 2016 will bring together thousands of athletes, coaches and fans in Brazil.
As part of the XXXI Olympiad, which will be held for the first time in South American Brazil from August 5 to 21, 2016, judokas will compete for medals for the 13th time. After a triumphant performance in London, everyone expects new victories from the Russians in Rio. As always, fans of the flexible path will be among the first to reveal the champions and prize-winners of the 2016 Games. The tournament will take place from 6 to 12 August. Every day, throughout the week, the winners of awards in one weight for men and one for women will be determined.
At this time in Brazil, the calendar winter and the temperature ranges from +18 to +25 °C. But since judo competitions are held indoors, judo athletes should not have problems. The 2013 World Cup held in Rio was held at the sports complex"Maracanazinho", which is next to the world-famous football "Maracana". However, at the 2016 Games, judo will receive a new place of residence. The competition will take place in Olympic Hall No. 2 in the Barra da Tijuca area, where the Olympic village, the Olympic park, the main press center and the television center will be located. This is the western part of the city, surrounded by lagoons, mountains and parks, which should make Barra a cozy place for athletes and guests of the Games. In addition to judoists, representatives of another 14 sports will compete here: boxing, table tennis, badminton, weightlifting, three types of gymnastics, cycling, aquatic species sports, basketball, fencing, taekwondo, wrestling, handball, golf and tennis. According to the project, the capacity of the stands is ten thousand seats.
According to the plan of the Brazilian government, the Barra region will greatly benefit from hosting the Games on its territory: after all, there are built sports objects and educational institutions, new shops, residential and entertainment centers, improved transport infrastructure. In addition, rehabilitation programs will be carried out in parks and river networks. In Barra, after the Games, the Olympic Training Center with 40,000 sq.m. areas, two training grounds for 12 Olympic sports sports, nutrition, rehabilitation, sports and clinical medicine areas, as well as a research laboratory unique in South America.
The promised metro in the Barra da Tijuca area, where Olympic Park And Olimpic village, the city authorities will not have time to open, therefore, a route of high-speed buses (BRT) is being urgently carried out, which travel along a dedicated lane, which should make it easier for spectators of the competition to get to sports arenas. Traffic in Rio de Janeiro is one of the most pressing issues in the city that Olympic guests need to be prepared for.
In March 2016, test competitions were held in Rio, which are mandatory for all sports and all venues where the Olympic tournaments will be held. It fell to the judokas to check the readiness of Rio de Janeiro for the Games on March 8 and 9. Competitions were held on two tatami new arena"Carioca 1" (Carioca 1), which is located in Olympic park. Carioca - this word in Brazil refers to everything that comes from Rio de Janeiro. In the Olympic Park, three sports palaces at once bear this name and differ only in numbers - 1, 2 and 3. During the Games, judokas will compete in Karyoka 2, and the sports palace where the test competitions took place will become home for basketball players. The three Cariocas look like twins, only the first palace is slightly larger.
Hypothetically, 16,000 spectators could watch the test competitions: that is how many people the stands of the Carioca 1 arena can accommodate. Of course, there were much fewer fans: the tournament was not of high status and had much more significance for the organizers than for the participants and spectators. However, the support was warm. The guys from the local judo sections, who made up the vast majority in the stands, cheered furiously and enthusiastically, especially worrying about their comrades. More than 120 athletes from seven countries took part in the competition: Brazil, France, Great Britain, Japan, Germany, Hungary and Lebanon. The Russian team did not take part in the tournament. Nine medals of test competitions were won by the hosts of the tournament. Mostly they were young athletes - medalists youth championships world and the Olympic Games, which in a few years will replace the current leaders of the national team. For them, it was at this tournament that preparations for the Tokyo 2020 Games began. The tournament made it possible to test the competition area, the operation of electronic scoreboards, locker rooms and other services for athletes, the organization of work with spectators, as well as the work of the entire team, including volunteers at this facility.
If for athletes the main souvenir from Rio should be Olympic medal, then the mascots of the Olympics and Paralympics - Vinicius and Tom will be memorable for the fans. Vinicius is the mascot of the Olympic Games, an animal that looks like a cat and a monkey at the same time. In fact, he has collected the features of all the animals of Brazil and personifies the fauna of the country. Tom is the mascot of the Paralympic Games, a funny, friendly tree with a bushy crown on its head, personifies all the rich flora of Brazil. They got their names in honor of the legendary natives of Brazil - Vinicius de Morais, poet and songwriter, and Tom Jobim, composer, singer and one of the founders of the bossa nova musical style. Their most famous creation is the song “Garota de Ipanema” (“Girl from Ipanema”), which, without exaggeration, the whole world knows (the English version of the song was once performed by Frank Sinatra) and is strongly associated with Rio de Janeiro and its famous beaches.
For Russians, the flight to Rio will not be easy - direct flight from Russia to Brazil, so the delegates will have to travel in South America with transfers in Europe, and some even with a landing in Sao Paulo. Rio has a different climate and time zone. Brazil, which is one of the five richest countries in the world in terms of population, area, wood reserves, fresh water and mineral deposits, has a fairly serious position in the world of judo. In this Latin American there are more than three million fans of the flex way.
