Top 10 Greatest Judokas Of The 20th Century.
Judo, founded in Japan in 1882, became one of the most influential martial arts of the twentieth century. Over time, this sport spread far beyond Japan, becoming an integral part of major international competitions. Judo's influence on the development of other martial arts, such as sambo and Brazilian jiu-jitsu, cannot be overstated.
In the twentieth century, judo not only became an Olympic sport but also a proving ground for true champions who inspired millions. The judokas of that time demonstrated not only the highest level of technique and physical conditioning but also laid the foundation upon which modern judo has been built.
In this video, I present the top ten greatest judokas of the 20th century — those who reached the pinnacle of this art through outstanding victories at the Olympic Games and World Championships. Their achievements became part of history, and their names — symbols of skill and strength of spirit.
