Welcome to The Games and Beyond
A unique mix of peaceful philosophy and physical combat, Judo means 'the gentle way' in Japanese. But don't be fooled by the name – due to the sport's one-on-one nature, the contests are often tough, tense and explosive.
The Games and Beyond will keep you in the know ahead of the world’s biggest sporting festival – find out more about each sport, meet Team GB medal hopefuls and discover who is likely to be fighting it out for podium places.
And if this inspires you to get involved, you can also find out more about how to start playing every single Olympic sport – no matter what your age, experience, or ability.
