The last day of the Junior World Championships, devoted to mixed teams, began with a beautiful symbol: the match between Ecuador and Japan. Let's say it right away that there was not much suspense as to the final result of this preliminary round and it is no offence to the host country of the competition to say so. There was nevertheless in this match a lot of emotion because, for the Ecuadorian judoka, to rub shoulders with what is currently best on the judo planet was above all an honour but also a responsibility in front of an enthusiastic public. It is therefore with bravery that the national athletes presented themselves on the tatami. This is also what we call team spirit. The scene was set.
