The third day of the Paris World Judo Championships Veterans brought the spotlight to the M5 (50–54) and M6 (55–60) categories, and with it came a powerful reminder that age may add maturity but it never diminishes spirit. From the first throw to the last ippon, the tatami of the National Judo Institute was a stage for exceptional skill, heartfelt determination and unwavering respect. These seasoned judoka delivered a full day of high-level judo, combining decades of experience with the same desire to win that has driven them throughout their careers. Today’s results were not just about medals, they were about showing once again what it means to embody the true values of judo.
