YOUNG GUNS: SIGHTS SET ON TOKYO

Olympic recognition is what every judoka craves, be it winning a medal or simply earning the privilege to represent their nation. It may be four years into the future, but preparation for Tokyo 2020 is well under way, and there’s a fresh crop of talented British youngsters who have Japan’s capital set firmly in their sights.

For our latest Matside cover feature, we sat down with the next generation of athletes looking to break through onto the elite level. Without further ado, we give you: Max Stewart, Lucy Renshall, Jemima Yeats-Brown, Amy and Bekky Livesey.
