14 GB Judoka Selected for European Cadet Championships

GB Judo are pleased to announce the judoka that have been selected for the European Cadet Championships in Porec, Croatia, from 23^rd-25^th June.

The 14-strong team of British Judo stars of tomorrow have been selected from the judo home nations based upon domestic and international competitions.

The European Cadet Championships form part of the British Judo Cadet ID list that is used to identify judoka for the GB Cadet Futures Training Camp which will be in October 2022. The GB Cadet Futures Training Camp typically sees around 10 judoka travel to Tokyo to attend a training camp where they have a mixture of technical training at the Kodokan and at schools across Tokyo.

Fuengirola Cadet European Cup silver and bronze medallists Sunny Doig and Emma McCabe have also been selected.

Following 5^th place finishes in Fuengirola, Ross McWatt, Chloe Link join 7^th place finisher Madeline Birri. A 7^th place finish at the Strasbourg Cadet European Cup also sees Julia Marczak secure her place in the team.

Tim Ellis, Performance Pathway Manager said: “After a fantastic few months, we are really pleased to announce the fighters identified for the Cadet European Championships. This year has seen more fighters than previous meet the selection criteria, meaning that the identifications were really difficult decisions. We are really confident that the team is capable of performing well out in Porec and this is another steppingstone on the way to their Junior and Senior careers.

 “The fact that so many cadets are performing so well is a real reflection on the clubs, the personal coaches and the Home Nation programmes as well as the fighters involved, and a huge credit goes to those people.”
