none January 2024 European Judo Championships 1962 FRG Essen, West Germany 12–14 May 1962 The 1962 European Judo Championships were the 11th edition of the European Judo Championships, and were held in Essen, West Germany on 12 and 13 May 1962.https://www.judoinside.com/event/86/1962_European_Championships_Essen/judo-results 1962 European Championships Judo Inside 26 August 2022 The Championships were held in two separate categories: amateur (nine events) and professional (four events). The amateur contests were subdivided into weight classes (four events), experience classes (four events), and a separate team competition (one event). The professional contests were subdivided only into weight classes. It was the first edition of the European Judo Championships to host judokas from the Socialist countries (Eastern European and Soviet), though they did not participate in the professional contests as professional sports were banned in those countries. Contrary to the modern Olympic-based practice of entering one athlete per weight class, more than one representative of a single national team was allowed to qualify for participation in each event. The professional category (then called the "open category") was established for those teaching judo, and hence not considered amateurs in the Olympics' category.https://books.google.com/books?id=adkDAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA46 World Wide Tournaments' Results: 1964 European Judo Championships Black Belt November 1964 46–47 2 6 This later precluded Anton Geesink from participating in the amateur weight classes at the judo event of the 1964 Olympics.https://newspaperarchive.com/pacific-stars-and-stripes-dec-28-1963-p-20/ Geesink 'Not Eligible' Pacific Stars And Stripes December 28, 1963 20 Medal overview Amateurs Experience-based events1st danBEL Marcel EtienneURS Boris MishchenkoHUN 1957 Tamas DavidFRG Peter Herrmann2nd danURS Anzor KibrotsashviliITA Remo VenturelliYUG Borivoje CvejićFRG Wolfgang Ehler3rd danGBR Alan PetherbridgeNED Theo van IerlandFRA Michel FranceschiGBR John Ryan4th danFRA Jean-Pierre DessaillyITA Nicola TempestaFRA Michel BourgoinWeight-based events68 kgFRA André BourreauGDR Erich ZielkeTCH Frantisek KunaFRA Michel Lesturgeon80 kgFRA Lionel GrossainNED Jaap MackayGDR Otto SmiratGDR Alfred Karatchuk80+ kgGDR Herbert NiemannNED Willem DademaGDR Karl NitzNED Adri SmitsOpen classURS Anzor KiknadzeURS Michail LukatchevNED Theo van IerlandSUI Beludze Amateur medal table 3 0 3 2 2 0 1 1 3 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 3 2 0 2 0 0 0 2 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 Professionals 68 kgNED Jan SnijdersFRA Roger ForestierFRG Franz-Hermann FischerFRG Kurt Leise80 kgFRA Henri CourtineFRG Gerd StamerFRA Romain PacalierNED Lange80+ kgNED Anton GeesinkFRA Mathieu VallauriFRA RousseyBEL Pierre BrouhaOpen classNED Anton GeesinkGBR George KerrGBR Kenneth MaynardFRA André Leclerc Professional medal table 3 0 1 1 2 2 0 1 2 0 1 1 0 0 1 Teams TeamFRA French team: Michel Bourgoin Jean-Pierre Dessailly André Iriart Mathieu Vallauri André LeclercNED Dutch team: Willem Dadema Anton Geesink Jaap Mackaay Gerard Stroess Theo van IerlandURS Soviet team: Zurab Beruachvili Anzor Kibrotsashvili Anzor Kiknadze Michail Kukasevitch Genrikh Shults ITA Italian team: Giuseppe Guerriero Romano Polverari Nicola Tempesta Remo Venturelli Gino Zanchetti Overall medal table 4 2 5 2 2 0 1 1 3 1 1 2 1 0 1 3 3 3 0 2 0 0 1 4 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 References External links Category:European Judo Championships European Championships European Championships Category:Sport in Essen Judo Judo Judo, European Championships
