Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ A friendly match between Mongolian and Brazilian judokas took place last Sunday in Sao Paolo of Brazil.

The Mongolian team comprised mostly young judokas, while the Brazilian included all judokas, who are qualified for 2016 Olympics, led by Olympic champion Sarah Menezes.

In men two weight categories and in women’s three divisions, the Brazilian team won the match.
