1963 European Judo Championships
The 1963 European Judo Championships were the 12th edition of the European Judo Championships, and were held in Geneva, Switzerland on 11 May 1963.[1] The Championships were held in two separate categories: amateur (five events) and professional (four events). The amateur contests were subdivided into four individual competitions, and a separate team competition. The Soviet and other Socialist judokas were allowed to compete professionally but on a strictly non-profit basis. As before, more than one representative of a single national team were allowed to qualify for participation in each event.
