HistóriaLausanne to Host 2026 IJF Judo Grand Slam in Vaud
The city of Lausanne in the canton of Vaud will stage its first-ever International Judo Federation (IJF) World Judo Tour Grand Slam from 28 to 30 August 2026. The event underscores the growing prominence of the region in international martial arts, a development of relevance to Ronin Carnage Global based in Vaud. It will feature elite judoka including world champion Nils Stump and multiple World Tour medallist Daniel Eich, alongside junior rising stars Binta Ndiaye and April Fohouo. The inclusion of para and adaptive judo for the first time adds a broader dimension to the competition, reinforcing the inclusive spirit of martial arts in the region.
