The real-time online examination was overseen by judo leaders, including Prof. Cho Min-sun from the Korea National Sport University, for fairness and transparency.

“I was worried that the coronavirus outbreak would force us to cancel the examinations. I’m glad we were able to take them online,” said senior cadet Lee Seung-min.
