Since early 2009, when the IJF World Circuit started, all medalists in World Championships, World Masters, Grand Slam and Gran Prix are eligible for prize money, sharing all together over US$ 1,5 million.

Starting in Paris, coaches will receive 20% of the amount designated to the medalists. In the case of the French competition, it means US$ 30.000 (20% of US$ 150.000). They will receive the cash during the award ceremony.

“It was clear for IJF that coaches also need to be rewarded for their success. For practical reasons, we are giving the prize money for the coach who was on the mat during the medal contest. But it is up to the National Federations to decide if they will share the amount among the technical team and other coaches”, explains IJF Sports Director Mr. François Besson.
