The Chinese and Brazilian Judo Federations have confirmed that they will both send significant teams to the 2010 GB World Cup for women, which will take place on the 2nd & 3rd October at the National Indoor Arena in Birmingham.

Although both have sent teams to previous GB World Cups this will be the first occasion that these judo nations have appeared at the same time. This significant coup for the event demonstrates the fantastic relationship that has built between the British Judo Performance team and the two countries.
