This is the Olympic cycle for Giovanna Scoccimarro
In Abu Dhabi Giovanna Scoccimarro took the gold medal in the final against a rather unknown Japanese, at least for the moment, who comes out of the junior universe and who, like all Japanese, was a favourite despite her youth and anonymity. This is what happens when judo is practised in Japan. Shiho Tanaka showed her face at the Belgian Open and she won a few youth tournaments in France and Russia. However as a double winner of the Kodokan Cup you cannot hide anymore, you’re on the radar.
