French Federation furious about Grand Slam switch to Kazan
The French Judo Federation have lost the organization of the biggest Grand Slam in the IJF World Tour to Russia. The French are furious and the IJF sticks to its calendar without Paris which was schedued at 8-9 May and gave the organisation rapidly to Kazan in Russia. Given the close relationship between the biggest European Federation in Europe with the IJF, the EJU and the IJF General Secretariat, this is at least a remarkable development. Corona was by far not the reason for the cancellation.
