Grand Prix - Baku - 6 - 8 May, 2011

There are four Grand Prix events a year and one is currently being contested in Baku - Azerbaijan. In terms of points towards Olympic Qualification:

1st place = 200 points
2nd place = 120 points
3rd place = 80 points

There are no Australians entered in this event. With a Masters event, World Championships, 4 x Grand Slams, 4 x Grand Prix and in excess of 20 World Cups in a calendar year, its not possible both physically and financially to do all of them.

Looking at the draws, there appear to be no Japanese competitors which is unusual. I hope that they are able to overcome the recent disaster in their country and attend future events.

This competition can be watched on the IJF channel Judo TV.
Friday: Mens U/60kg, u/66kg Womens U/48kg, U/52kg, UI/57kg
Saturday: Mens U/73kg, U/81kg Womens U/63kg, U/70kg
Sunday: Mens: U/90kg, U/100kg, over 100kg, Wommens U/78kg, Over 78kg
