2012 Olympic Games Selection Information
On Dec. 1, the International Judo Federation released information regarding the selection for the 2012 Olympic Games in London.
This process will be different from that used from previous Olympic Games in that the majority of slots will be allocated based on individual athletes' positions on a World Rankings List.
A total of 14 women and 22 men per weight division will be selected by the International Judo Federation based on their position on the World Rankings List (excluding host country).
In addition, the Pan American region will be allocated eight women's and 13 men's slots across All Weight Divisions. Information regarding how these slots will be allocated will be released as soon as it is made available.
Similar to the 2008 Olympic Games, a maximum of 20 additional slots across All Weight Divisions will be given to athletes selected by the International Judo Federation.
World Ranking List
The World Ranking List will consist of points from the World Cups, Grand Prix, Grand Slam, Masters, Continental Championships, World Championships and Olympic Games. This list will take effect on January 1, 2009 and all athletes will have 0 points to begin, regardless of past World Rankings.
Ranking points will be based on placings at each of the above tournaments with points available for any result that includes at least one match won. Participation points will only be available for the World Championships.
The total of ranking points for each player will amount to the sum of his/her five highest point scores during each 12 month period.
The points for each individual tournament will expire as follows:
In the first 12 months after the tournament the points will count 100%
After 12 months the points will be reduced to 75%
After 24 months the points will be reduced to 50%
After 36 months the points will be reduced to 25%
After 48 months the points will be reduced to 0 and not counted anymore
