Don’t miss the highlights from the Rio de Janeiro Grand Slam tonight on Sky Sports. 

As the second programme in the ten-part International Judo Federation World Circuit series you can be witness the enthusiastic Brazilian crowd which packed the Maracanazinho Hall – eight thousand people each day - during the tournament earlier this month.  

The carnival home support was no doubt  extra motivation for the home team who won six medals (one gold, one silver, four bronze) and finished third in the medals table,  behind Japan (8 out of 14 possible gold medals) and Russia (one gold, two silver, two bronze).

If you miss it tonight at 6.30pm and 10pm on Sky Sports 4 you can catch up with the action tomorrow at the 2am, 8.30am and 12.30am,

The series, which is being produced by Fighting Films, who also produce the GB World Cup for Sky on behalf of the British Judo Association, has been commissioned by the IJF.

Each programme will feature the best of the action from all 14 weight categories and interviews with the standout fighters.  The series, which will air around the world, will predominantly focus on the finals and the medallists from each event.

British medallists will feature in the series as they send teams to several events including the Russian Grand Slam later this month and the World Championships in September.
