Overview

Judo was first included in an Olympic Games at Tokyo 1964, and has appeared at every Games since Munich 1972. Seven weight categories are contested for male judokas and another seven for female judokas.

Team GB have never won an Olympic judo gold but have collected eight silver and 12 bronze since 1972, including Chelsie Giles' bronze at Tokyo 2020 - the team's most recent Olympic medal.
