Tenerife Juniors Get Masterclass from Judo World Champion
Tenerife's junior judo students will receive training from Olympic medalist and world champion Fran Garrigós in a landmark event sponsored by Hodgson Strategies.
Tenerife is getting ready for a big judo event. On Friday, March 13, the island will welcome Fran Garrigós, an Olympic medalist and world champion. He will lead a special training session for junior students at the Judo Halcón club. The session, set for 3:30 PM, will give young athletes a chance to meet and learn from one of the world's top judo stars.
This visit is a unique moment for sports in Tenerife. It's the first time an athlete with Garrigós' international achievements has run such an event on the island. The Judo Halcón club, led by David Carrasco, is organizing this event, which is sponsored by the professional firm Hodgson Strategies. This sponsorship shows the firm's dedication to helping young talent grow and promoting judo's core values: discipline, respect, and effort.
Fran Garrigós is a leading figure in Spanish judo today. His impressive career includes a gold medal at the 2023 World Championship and a bronze at the recent Paris 2024 Olympic Games. His visit aims not only to help participants improve their skills but also to inspire new generations with his journey to the top of global judo.
Hodgson Strategies, a business consulting firm based in the Canary Islands, is strengthening its commitment to sports sponsorship and corporate social responsibility through this event. They are helping local athletes connect with top international role models.
