Suspense is not appeased fully though while we wait for the selections for the -78 kg, -73 kg, -90 kg and -100 kg categories.
With such an early selection, we can be sure that this time will be as prepared as a team could ever be and the rest of the world must be ready to take on a huge challenge in the French capital next summer. It appears that France wishes to retain its Olympic Mixed Team title and to do it at home. They are throwing down every gauntlet to the rest and to be honest, we can’t wait…
