GB judo announce team for the Junior European Judo Championships

GB Judo is pleased to announce the eight judoka who have been selected to compete at the Junior European Judo Championships at The Hague from 7^th – 10^th September.

Four men and two women have been selected for the individual event whilst an extra male and female judoka have been selected for the Team Event on the final day of competition.

Lewis Fryer (Rush Judo; Laurie Rush) will compete in the -60kg category following his gold medal at the Kaunas Junior European Cup before claiming silver at the Birmingham Junior European Cup.

Luke Davies (Ealing JC; Jo Crowley) has been selected alongside Eryk Neumann (Hardy Spicer 83; Fitzroy Davies) in the -73kg category.

Davies has competed across the globe this year picking up a gold medal at the Lima Junior Panamerican Cup, silver at the Sarajevo Junior European Cup and bronze at the Tunis Junior African Cup.

Neumann meanwhile won bronze at the Kaunas Junior European Cup earlier this year.

Selected in the +100kg category is Daniel Ede (Westcroft JC; Andrew Ede) who won back-to-back bronze medals at the Kaunas and Birmingham Junior European Cups before a 5^th place finish at the Paks Junior European Cup.

In the -52kg category, Charlotte Jenman (Tonbridge JC; Ben Urban) has made a seamless transition to the junior ranks following her 2022 success as a cadet. The 2022 Cadet European Championship bronze medallist picked up silver at the Kaunas Junior European Cup before topping the Birmingham Junior European Cup podium this summer.

Anya Hassan (Middlesbrough JC; Garth Illingworth) is another judoka who has stepped up to the junior age group this year. The -78kg fighter narrowly missed out on a medal at the Kaunas and Birmingham Junior European Cups but returned from the Paks Junior European Cup with bronze.
