EVENT: Judo: Men's U100kg

Glasgow 2014 was the first Commonwealth Games for Jason Koster, a campaign which saw him stand on the podium with fellow kiwi judoka Tim Slyfield. The two judokas earned bronze in the under 100kg category.

The veteran of the New Zealand team, Jason has always maintained a ranking within the top one hundred in the world. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, Jason had picked up a bronze medal in the 2019 Lima Open, along with 5th places in Santiago and Taipei.

At the 2021 World Championships he made it through to the round of 32 after a win over his Kenyan opponent before losing to current world number one from Russia.
