What is JudoInside?
JudoInside is the independent archive of international judo — a Dutch-run database of results, athlete records and club histories that reaches back decades further than the federation's own online system.[1]
What does it cover?
Contest-by-contest records for tens of thousands of judoka, tournament results from world and continental championships down to national and club events, and biographical and coaching data alongside them.[1] [2]
Why does it matter?
Because judo careers frequently predate the IJF's current ranking system, and JudoInside is the standard place — used by journalists and by the sport itself — to establish what an athlete actually did and when.[1] [2]
