Each judo contest begins at the sound of hajime and lasts four minutes. The favorites in this competition were the Cuban judokas, who, before Lima, had won 63 gold medals, followed by Brazil with 36. These are the two toughest of the competition.
In each category, athletes were divided into two tables determined by a draw. The elimination system produced two finalists who competed for the gold medal.
The athletes who made it to the quarter finals competed in two repechage contests. The winners of each contest faced the loser of the semifinals from the other table for the bronze medal.
Sports Center 1 of the National Sports Village was the venue for this sport at Lima 2019.
