The World Judo Championships are underway in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. Romanian news agency AGERPRES quoted the president of the Romanian Judo Federation, Cozmin Gusa, as saying that the delegations stated aim was the winning of a medal, given that the Romanian delegation to the ongoing world championships was made of judokas of the young generation. A nine-strong Romanian delegation is in Tashkent, with six male events competitors and three other judokas competing in the womens events. Naturalized Cuban judoka, Ashely Gonzalez, former world champion and silver medalist in the London Olympics, in the 100-kilgram category, is 33 years old, whereas the other members of the Romanian delegation are around 20. Romania has not won a medal in the World Championship since 2015. We recall that back then Andreea Chitu, in the 52-kilogram category and Corina Căprioriu, in the 57-kilogram category, walked away with the silver medal.

Romanian title holders Rapid are 2nd-placed in the group, with 5 points, on a par with the group leader, Metz Handball, while Esbjerg are 4th-placed, with 4 points.
