These seeds are obtained in the following way: the champions of the continental qualification tournaments (held in 2023) are selected. so, Jose Quiles (-57 kg), silver at the European Games held in Poland, is seeded in Paris. In particular, the number eight (8), which means that until the quarterfinal round he will not be with an athlete from the same list, because the competition will start in the round of 16, which is not included in the round of 16 (two matches ) . will have in this division).

The rest of the Spaniards, and Laura Fuertes, they have to face a seed in the round of 16, if they start this round. This will be the case of Enmanuel Reyes Pla or Ayoub Ghadza Drissi, in which the weight categories, -92 and +92 kg, have 16 participants. Therefore, both will fight one of the names coming out of that weight.

Rafael Lozano (-51 kg), Oier Ibarretxe (-63.50 kg) and Laura Fuertes (-50 kg) They may be forced to fight in the round of 32 and, upon winning the match, be paired with one of the seeds in the table. The ones with the most options are Laura Fuertes, with 6 rounds of 32 fights (22 participants) and Oier Ibarretxe (4 rounds of 32 fights, 20 participants). It’s unfortunate if Rafael Lozano can participate in that round of 32, because at -51 kg it’s only one match, because there are 17 participants.
