Abstract | ||||
This study aimed to analyze the rank list and competition results of female judokas participating in Tokyo Olympics (2020) to identify the relationship between the female judokas ranking in the World Rank List (WRL) and their results during Tokyo Olympics. Methods: The researchers used the descriptive approach to analyze the competition results of Tokyo 2020 Olympics for Judo. Sample included (192) female judokas in all seven weight categories. Data was extracted from the official results book of Tokyo 2020 Olympics. Through treating data, the researchers calculated frequency and percentage of winning/losing for high-rank and low-rank female judokas according to the WRL. In addition, Chi-Square test was calculated to identify the correlation between WRL and match results (winning/losing). Results: It was clear that winning percentages were higher for high-rank female judokas according to WRL in all weight categories as follows: (74.19%) for (-48 kg) – (81.25%) for (-52 kg) – (67.86%) for (-57 kg) – (76.47%) for (-63 kg) – (74.19%) for (-70 kg) – (74.07%) for (-78 kg) – (76.67%) for (+78 kg). Winning percentages for low-rank female judokas were between (18.755%) for (-52 kg) and (32.14%) for (-57 kg). Chi-square results indicated a statistically significant correlation on P<0.05 in favor of the high-rank female judokas. The researchers concluded that there is a significant correlation between the World Rank List and Olympic results as the higher the rank of a female judoka the higher the chance to achieve an advanced Olympic rank. | ||||
