In the 2012 Olympics, there were 14 judo events -- seven weight classes for men, and seven for women -- for a total of 42 medals being awarded. Yet no country won more than seven of them, including Japan, the country where the sport was invented. France, hardly thought of as a judo superpower, did just as well. And eighteen countries managed to win something. That impresses me; judo is a very international sport.
Canda, for what it's worth, picked up one medal. Antoine Valois-Fortier won bronze in the men's 81kg class.
