Judo at the 1980 Summer Olympics
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Judo competition at the 1980 Summer Olympics was the first time that the medal count was not dominated by Japan, as the country joined the boycott of the games because of the 1979 Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Medals were awarded in to male judoka 7 weight classes and in the open competition, two more weight classes than in 1976. I.e. eight events were contested. They were all held at the Sports Palace of the Central Lenin Stadium at Luzhniki (south western part of Moscow). The schedule started on July 27 and ended on August 2.
