Kokoro Kageura added to the Japanese team for Doha Worlds
The Japanese Judo Federation (AJJF) have just announced that Kosuke Mashiyama, who had been selected in the -90kg category for the 2023 World Championships (7-14 May, Doha, Qatar), will be withdrawn from the men's team in favour of Kokoro Kageura. The latter, 2021 world champion in +100kg and who beat Teddy Riner at the Paris 2020 Grand Slam, will therefore be the second Japanese in the category, along with Tatsuru Saito.
