Olympics Marathon
To me, Judo is like a ballet, except there's no music, no choreography, and the dancers knock each other down. Jack Handey.

To enable a physically weaker person to defend himself against a physically stronger opponent is all it does. Wearing judogi, the athletes grab their opponents from collar, chest and belt as the outfits are made from heavy cotton. The competence is indicated through belt's color. Beginners wear white belts and they work their way up to yellow, orange, green, blue, brown, black, red and white (or black), and red (or black).

Judo was first included in the 1964 Summer Olympic Games at Tokyo, Japan. After not being included in 1968, judo remained in each Olympiad since then. Only males participated until the 1988 Summer Olympics, when women participated as a demonstration sport. Women judoka were first awarded medals at the 1992 Summer Olympics.

The Judo competition at the 1988 Summer Olympics continued the seven weight classes first used at the 1980 Games. The open division was eliminated from the competition. Japan failed to claim the top of the medal count for the first time in an Olympics in which they participated, coming in third behind South Korea and Poland. Peter Seisenbacher from Austria and Hitoshi Saito from Japan won the gold medal in their weight classes; defending their titles from 1984 they became the first judoka to win gold at two Olympics.

At the 1972 Summer Olympics judo returned after its absence at the 1968 Summer Olympics. Medals were awarded in six weight classes with competition restriction to men only. Willem Ruska of the Netherlands won gold medals in both the heavyweight and open class competition, becoming the first judoka to win two Olympic gold medals.

The Judo competition at the 1984 Summer Olympics continued the seven weight classes first used at the 1980 Games. Open division with eight competitions were restricted to male judoka. Japan at the top of the medal count boycotted the Moscow games as the Soviet led counter-boycott of the Los Angeles games, several traditionally strong judo countries, including Cuba and the Soviet Union, did not participate. The Judo competition was held at California State University, Los Angeles.

Austrian Peter Seisenbacher in the 86 kg class won the gold medal, as did Hitoshi Saito of Japan in the over 95 kg class, feats repeated in 1988, becoming the first judoka to win gold at two Olympics.

The 1980 Summer Olympics Japan did not dominate the medal count due to the boycott of the games of the 1979 Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Medals were awarded in male judoka 7 weight classes and in the open competition, two more weight classes than in 1976 i.e. eight events were contested. They all held at the Sports Palace of the Central Lenin Stadium at Luzhniki (south western part of Moscow). The 1992 Summer Olympics Judo competition was contested in fourteen weight classes, seven each for men and women. The seven men's weight classes were those first used in 1980. For the first time medals were awarded to women judoka, who competed in 1988 as a demonstration sport.

Judo at the 2004 Summer Olympics took place in the Ano Liossia Olympic Hall and featured 368 judoka competing for 14 gold medals with seven different weight categories in both the men's and women's competitions. Japan dominated the event by taking 8 gold and 2 silver medals.

Gold and silver medals in each weight class were determined by a single-elimination bracket. Since there are four semifinalists, this means that four of the losers of the round of 32 (i.e., 25%) faced four of the losers from the round of 16 (50%). The winners of these matches faced the four judokas who have lost in the quarterfinals.

The winners of these four matches faced each other to narrow the repechage field down to two judokas. Until this stage, the repechage has been segregated into two distinct halves, with each successive competitor facing another one from the same half of the original bracket; but the two judokas who emerged from the repechage challenged the loser of the other bracket's semifinal. The winners of these two matches were each awarded a bronze medal, making judo unusual among Olympic events in not determining a single third-place finisher.
