The
Chinggis Khaan World Cup 2010 in judo took place in Ulaanbaatar over the
weekend. According to International Judo Federation rules, all event winners
will have 100 points added to their international rankings. Silver medal
winners have earned 60 points and bronze medalists 40. Fifth place winners will gain 20 points for their Olympic rights.
The
156 competitors included four Olympic gold medalists and more than 20 wrestlers
with medals from world championships. Although the number of participants was
quite poor, the quality of the judo was quite high.
