🇭🇺 The Hungary Grand Slam 2026 once again brought the international judo family together in Budapest, the capital of world judo and home of the IJF headquarters. 🥋

“Budapest has a special place in our sport and once again provided an excellent stage for world-class judo. As the final ranking event before the World Judo Championships in Baku this October, this Grand Slam was an important milestone on the road to our biggest event of the year.

I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the Hungarian Government and national authorities for their support of judo and this event, as well as to the Hungarian Judo Association and the European Judo Union for their excellent cooperation.

I would like to congratulate all the athletes on their performances and achievements, and thank the coaches, officials, volunteers and partners who contributed to the success of the event.

We now turn our attention to Baku, where the world judo family will come together again for the World Championships.”

– Marius Vizer, IJF President
