Following three days of competition featuring over 100 of Europe's best blind and partially sighted judokas from 20 countries, full results are now available here. 

The IBSA Judo European Championships 2015 were held in Odivelas, just north of Lisbon, and organised by the Portuguese Judo Federation, the Portuguese Sports Federation for People with Disabilities and the IBSA Judo Committee. It was the first international blind judo event to be held in Portugal. 

The championships were also the last opportunity to gain ranking points and secure slots for the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games.

In the B1 team event, set up to encourage the participation of fully-blind (B1) athletes, Russia beat France to win gold.
