Behind the Scenes

Written by Jakhongir Toshpulatov, Pedro Lasuen on 02. Feb 2021

Passion requires effort, collective work, discreet and anonymous. Behind a fight, an ippon, a medal, there are hours of commitment. Behind every detail is a team that prepares all aspects of a tournament for months so that everything flows like clockwork, when the time comes. It is what we are and what we do, behind the scenes, because our passion is working to make others happy. Today we introduce you to the IT team of the International Judo Federation.
