SK Men's Judo Team to Compete in all Weight Classes at Olympics

South Korea's men's judo team has advanced to compete in all seven weight classes at the 2012 London Olympics this summer.

Judoists must rank within the world's top 22 best athletes in the sport in order to compete in London. Korean players have successfully met this requirement as assessed by their performances at the Judo World Cup that ended in Prague last week.

Nine Korean judoists in total have been qualified in the seven weight categories.

Qualification is ongoing for the South Korean women's judo team, but as the athletes collect world ranking points at regional tournaments, the team is also expected to compete in all weight classes at the games.
