The Inspire Institute of Sport (IIS) Thursday announced a partnership with the Manipur Judo Association (MJA), with the stated goal being to create a structured athlete development pathway for the sport in the state and help Indian judokas achieve success at the global level.
The collaboration between IIS and the MJA aims to recognise and further promote judo as one of the world's premier Olympic sports. IIS intends to provide optimum opportunity and training to India's future Olympians by emphasising technical aspects of the sport and delivering specific programmes.
