Here we are, a few days out from the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games. The judo is going to be really exciting, and as a platform for Judo, for Brits (and presumably the wider Commonwealth group of nations) the media profile of the event is second only to the Olympics.

I briefly look back on the Judo in the first few events that are a part of the Paris Olympic cycle, before running down the stories i’m looking to see unfold at the B2022 Commies.
