Argentina is the host country of the Youth Olympic Games. A few months ago, the IJF went to explore the country and meet the people who practice the sport from the capital Buenos Aires to the extreme south in Ushuaia in Tierra del Fuego and the natural wonder of Iguazú in the north. Argentina is a country of contrats and passion.

Meet Paula Pareto, former world and current Olympic champion, who is the athlete role model for judo during the YOG. Meet also the young judokas who represent the future generation of champions and who, despite the difficulties, are following the footsteps of Paula.
