This is a total of 8 medals since the introduction of judo to the Olympic Games in 1964, starting with the silver won by Doug Rogers and the very first gold medal won by Christa Deguchi at the most recent Paris 2024 Games.
At its introduction as an Olympic sport in 1964, Canada already had a top-level judo athlete, and he has since become a legend in judo with his silver medal at the Olympic Games that same year: Doug Rogers.
It was Nicolas Gill who won the bronze medal at the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games in the men’s -86 kg category, and his second medal, this time silver, at the 2000 Sydney Olympics in the men’s -100 kg category.

No, each country has limits on the number of judokas it can send to the Olympic Games. These limits are determined by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and in collaboration with the international federation, Judo Canada.
For both men and women, the bouts are normally 4 minutes long. If there is a tie at the end of these 4 minutes, the bout goes to “Golden Score.” Golden Score is an overtime period with no time limit. However, the judoka who scores the first ippon wins the bout. The shortest judo bout at the Olympic Games is 9 seconds, achieved by French judoka Lucie Décosse in the quarterfinals of the 2012 London Olympics.
