  • Paralympic Judo: Is There Evidence for Match Rigging Among Athletes with Disabilities?
    Annals of Applied Sport Science, vol. 5, no. 3, pp. 63-68, Autumn 2017 Original Article www.aassjournal.com www.AESAsport.com ISSN (Online): 2322 – 4479 Received: 08/03/2017 ISSN (Print): 2476–4981 Accepted: 12/10/2017 Paralympic Judo: Is there Evidence for Match Rigging among Athletes with Disabilities? 1 * 2 Wadim Strielkowski , Anatoly Shishkin 1Cambridge Judge Business School, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, United Kingdom. 2Plekhanov Russian University of Economics, Moscow, Russian Federation. ABSTRACT Objectives: This paper studies the existence or non-existence of match-fixing (or rigging) among judo wrestlers (judoka) with disabilities during the consecutive Paralympic Games from 1988 until 2016. Methods: In our analysis, we use the institutional framework that makes it easy understand and model the incentives of the wrestlers using the readily available data. Our data set consists of official judo matches that took place during the Paralympic Games from Seoul in 1988 to Rio in 2016. We analyze the distribution of wins across judokas, the medal count at the end of each medal tournaments. Results: Our results are quite similar across specifications. There is no significant evidence to prove that some Paralympic judokas tend to be victorious more often on average than it might be expected. Conclusions: We find no evidence can be found to document match rigging in Paralympic judo wrestling. Our analysis does not confirm the corruption story or rule out effort as the explanation. While the incentive structure of promotion leads to gains from trade between wrestlers on the margin for achieving a winning record and their opponents in some other sports with athletes winning a disproportionate share of the matches when they are on the margin, this does not seem to be the case of Paralympic judo.

  • Competitive School Sport Summary Report
    National Governing Bodies of Sport Survey Competitive School Sport Summary Report June 2014 Prepared by the TOP Foundation for Ofsted SportPark, Loughborough University, 3 Oakwood Drive, Loughborough, LE11 3QF NGB Competitive School Sport Investigation Summary Report Executive Summary In the spring of 2014 an investigation commissioned by Ofsted explored the school backgrounds, ethnicity and socioeconomic status of some of our best adult and age group international sport teams. The same investigation asked 29 National Governing Bodies of sport (NGBs) to report on their competitive school sport provision in 39 different sports; 26 (90%) NGBs agreed to take part and they reported on 35 sports. This NGBs report is part of a wider investigation being undertaken by Ofsted into competitive school sport for Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Education, Children’s Services and Skills (HMCI), Sir Michael Wilshaw, which includes a supporting report with input from headteachers. This investigation collated 6 different sets of data on the known school backgrounds of: i. Current international representatives from 14 sports (n=224) ii. London 2012 Olympic Team (n=279) iii. London 2012 Paralympic Team (n=106) iv. Players competing in national leagues in 5 sports (n=543) v. UK Sport’s Athlete Insights Survey: Olympic sports (n=606) vi. UK Sport’s Athlete Insights Survey: Paralympic sports (n=247). Analysis showed similar trends across the different data sets. The 2 Paralympic data sets provided a mean of 81% for athletes attending state schools only, 13% for independent schools only and 3% for both types of school. The 2 Olympic data sets provided a mean of 66% for athletes attending state schools only, 22% for independent schools only and 6% for both types of school.

  • Sport-And-Physical-A
    Monday 21st September 2020 Dear Prime Minister, Today we are calling on you to commit to positioning sport and physical activity at the heart of our nation’s post-Covid renewal. This appeal comes from a broad range of organisations that include governing bodies and those who represent hundreds of thousands of sports clubs and facilities. Our sports engage millions of children, young people, and adults every year. Our sector drives economic prosperity and social change in the UK, contributing over £16bn to the UK economy and employing more than 600,000 people. A report published by Sport England and Sheffield Hallam University this month showed that every £1 spent on community sport and physical activity generates nearly £4 for the English economy, providing an annual contribution of more than £85bn, with a social value – including physical and mental health and wellbeing, individual and community development – of more than £72bn. Grassroots sport, fitness, and wider recreational activity is proven to improve physical, mental, and social wellbeing. This makes our sector an essential service as our nation recovers from the damage caused by Covid-19. Prime Minister – you’ve long been a champion of the benefits of a physically active lifestyle and we were heartened to hear that commitment renewed this summer with the launch of the Government’s obesity strategy. Our combined sector is delighted to be showcasing its reach into the heart of communities this week as part of the inaugural Great British Week of Sport. However, we are united in our concern that at a time when our role should be central to the nation’s recovery, the future of the sector is perilous.

Stone, Major Donn Draeger (USMC), and others. At that time there was no national authority to give guidance to local judo communities and insure the logical and orderly development of judo as a sport. The Amateur Judo Association (AJA) was a rst attempt at establishing a national governing structure in conjunction with the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU).

    BLOC DE CONTINGUTS: JOCS I ESPORTS JOCS I ACTIVITATS DE LLUITA. CONTACTE I COOPERACIÓ JUDO 1.What is JUDO? Judo is a Japanese martial art. It was founded in 1882 by Jigoro Kano. Jigoro wanted to pick up the essence of the old jujitsu schools, along with other fighting arts practiced in Japan and merge them into one. Judo laid the foundations for the modern Japanese martial arts. Judo is one of the four main styles of amateur competitive struggle practiced today worldwide. Practitioners of this art are called judokas. Jidoro Kano summarizes the philosophy of Judo saying: The main condition of Nague- waza is projecting our opponents using the minimum of our strength, this principle applies to all aspects of our lives. Once on the ground can freeze or abandon the match with a choke or a dislocation. Judo is practiced in the dojo (place where one learns the way), and barefoot on a surface called tatami. The uniform of practicing Judo is called judogui, which consists of a jacket, open and without buttons, trousers and belt. The judogui is white and is made of a material resistant to traction. The belt has two functions, adjust the jacket body and identify its color according to the degree of knowledge that the student possesses. The different levels are higher in smaller: white, yellow, orange, green, blue and brown in the category of Kiu or student. DAN category or teachers are represented by the black belt, the first being its progression until the 10th. The highest degree awarded 10th Dan has been identified with a red belt.
