The Spanish Senior Judo Championship will be held this season in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria on November 30. This weekend the sector phase was held in A Coruña and Adriana Cabezudo and Elena Casado have achieved classification. A total of nine judokas from the club participated in this competition that brings together the best judokas from Galicia, Cantabria, Asturias and Castilla y León. Only the three best judokas of each weight qualify for the Spanish Senior Championship. In the case of Elena Casado, she had a league of 5 athletes and won 3 of the 4 fights. Adriana Cabezudo won in the eliminatory phase and only lost in the semifinal match. He would later win the bronze medal.
The one who has achieved direct qualification is Charlie Antón, who has achieved three medals this season in the Spanish Cups in Galicia, Valencia and Madrid. He faces this Spanish Senior Championship with more enthusiasm than ever and on this occasion he will be accompanied by Adriana and Elena. “In the sector phase we could have achieved more medals and the participation of our team was very outstanding. They all did very good fights and we almost won the medal in several categories. We have to highlight the effort and determination of Pepe Ramos, Héctor Rodríguez and Álvaro Antón in 66 kilos, Marcos Vitores in 81 kilos, Lucía Álvarez and Natalia Delgado in 57 kilos and Luisa Hernández in 63 kilos”, they explain from the club.
That same weekend, the Spanish Veterans Championship will also be held. The judokas Israel Contador and Israel Del Olmo will fight in this category that each year welcomes more judokas of different age groups. Both have extensive experience in competition and come to this event with guarantees. “They are going to have tough confrontations and we are convinced that they are going to give their best. Once again, we will have our continental referee Javier S. Pablos. The man from Salamanca continues to take giant steps in the world of refereeing and will be present in the Spanish Senior and Veteran Championships with the best National Judo referees”, they conclude from the Doryoku.
