History
editThe Norwegian Judo Federation was founded in 1967.[citation needed]
Summer Olympics
editThree Norwegian Judokas participated at the 1984 Summer Olympics. Alfredo Chinchilla participated in the Men's 65 kg category. He won one fight. Frank Evensen and Fridtjof Thoen lost their first round.
One Norwegian Judoka participated at the 1992 Summer Olympics. Stig Traavik lost the first round.
Judo for Peace
editIn 2002 the Norwegian Judo Federation started training Afghan judokas under an exchange program with the Afghan Judo Federation established that year with the federation slogan "Judo for Peace". What began as a modest effort took on a big scale as increasingly more Afghan children and teenagers enrolled in the training program, the demand rising further. The project's objective also included giving priority to the underprivileged girls and women of Afghanistan, who showed equal interest and enthusiasm to their male counterparts. The result was a historic first: Fariba Rezayee became the first ever Afghan female to participate in an Olympic competition (in 2004).[3]
In 2010, it participated in the "Judo for Peace Event" hosted by the IJF in Jaipur, India.[4]
Organization
editThe organisation's headquarters is in Oslo.
