training for different track distances is absolutely NOT the same, ESPECIALLY in elite levels.

Tell that to American judo playersChute Stomp said:Olympic medals are still valued and despite the corruption I still look foward to the Olympics. Its still the highest level of competition for a huge number of sports. Also, sports that become Olympic one's get extra goverment funding.

Spoonman7 said:I am just going by what I have read, back in the day competition Judo had much more ground work but to become an olympic sprt in 1964, more rules were added to keep the action standing. Over the years more and more rules are put in place to keep the fight standing, don't get me wrong, fights are still won on the ground but all of the rule changes are making that more difficult.
