The IJF grants a deadline until July 2, so that the National Olympic Committees confirm the place achieved for the Olympic event in France.
Florentino’s qualification for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games was achieved thanks to his consistent performance in the World Judo Tour events, which are key to adding points to the world ranking of the International Judo Federation (IJF).
