(Colorado Springs, Colo.) – At 67-years-old, Sandy North (Hollywood, Fla. / Budokan Judo) proved he is still at the top of his game at the Veteran World Championships in Krakow where he won gold in the M8 65-69 60kg division.

North, a podiatrist by day, entered the competition as a reigning bronze medalist who last won gold in 2016. After a bye into the semifinals, North threw Benny Stenlund (SWE) for a waza-ari (half-point) score with 13 seconds remaining in the match to secure a position on the podium.

In finals, North would take the match down to the wire again before throwing Hans Nessensohn (SUI) for ippon (instant win) with 12 seconds on the clock.

North was one of four USA Judo athletes to win medals during the four-day event that included more than 800 athletes from 60 nations.

Doug Tono (Skokie, Ill. / Tohkon Judo Academy) returned to the podium in the men’s 7 60-64 66 competition, claiming his third medal in the last four years with a silver. Tono, who also competed at the Kata Worlds, scored twice in his quarter-final match against Ruediger Vaegs (GER), footsweeping the German for a waza-ari and then throwing him with a tomoe nage for ippon with just over a minute left on the clock.

In the semis, Tono threw Richard Danjoux (FRA) for a waza-ari in the opening minute and took the match to the ground for a submission in the second minute. Tono and Silvio Uehara (BRA) fought through three minutes of regulation and a minute of Golden Score (overtime) in the finals. Uehara was awarded the win with one penalty to Tono’s two.

In the men’s 4 45-49 +100kg event, Hector Negron (Killeen, Texas) returned to the podium with a bronze after winning silver at the 2021 Vet Worlds.

Although Negron lost his first match when he was thrown by eventual bronze medalist Bogdan Lica (GBR) early in Golden Score of the quarter-finals, he came back with three straight wins to take bronze. After a walkover against Aurel Gavris (ROU) in the repechage, the American threw Kanatbek Imiianov (KGZ) for a waza-ari and took the match to the ground, forcing a tapout. Fighting for bronze, Morales-Negron threw Chingiz Orujov (AZE) for ippon in the opening minute.

After winning silver at the 2021 Vet Worlds, Ray Marquez (Myrtle Beach, S.C. / Myrtle Beach Judo) returned to the podium in Krakow, winning bronze in the 50-54 81kg event with a 4-1 record. Marquez drew a bye into the second round where he threw Mariusz Kos (POL) for ippon in the first minute. In the quarters, Marquez lost by ippon when he was thrown during the opening exchange by Christophe Manette (FRA) who went on to win gold. Marquez went on to throw each of his next three opponents for ippon, defeating Ali Khireddine (ALG), U.S. teammate Russell Hogan (Wylie, Texas / Eastside Dojo) and Angel Benavides Plat (ESP) each in the opening minute.

Team USA also had eight athletes who fought for bronze, but finished fifth:
