Know some of the most important competitors of our history.
Because of their performances Brazil conquered the international respect and recognition.
Analyzing their "curriculums" maybe the tiny number of titles sounds strange;
but it is very important to know that the number and frequency of championships were very
restrict in that time The South American Championships, for example, didn't have a defined
frequency: it could happen every 2 or 3 years. The same occured to the Pan-American
Championships.
THERE WERE NO INTERNATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS FOR CATEGORIES INFERIOR TO SENIOR!!!
Many of the related champions fought without weight divisions: there were no categories
distinction in that time.
Others fought a little bit later when three, then five, weight divisions were instituted.
Therefore, after analyzing all those differences and data, it'll become easier to
understand and acknowledge the efforts of all those heroes.
And it is worth to say that " IF OUR JUDO GOT SOME RECOGNITION OF THE AUTHORITIES AND
TODAY WE TAKE COMPLETE TEAMS FOR THE OLYMPIC AND PAN-AMERICAN GAMES", we own it to
their generation.
Therefore, if you have the opportunity to maintain contact with any of them, don't miss
it!
To reduce the riss of commit an injustice, since we know that many are the ones who
deserve to be related in this page, we will try to increase our list and to include new
names whenever we get to enough informatios.
In the nex
few weeks we'll show AURELIO MIGUEL, ROGERIO SAMPAIO (both Olympic Champions) histories in an exclusive interview.
