To participate in the Olympic games competitors both women and men, have to follow the tournament's selection requirements. By analysing the competitors' technical-tactical preparation we can determine the value of techniques executed efficiently, as well as the value of indexes obtained by the winners in the particular weight categories, and the dominant techniques used, both by men and women. It has been established that women were more efficient in leg techniques – ashi waza, than men (women's Sa = 2.930, men's Sa = 1.620). The men performed more efficient hand techniques – te waza (men's Sa = 2.352, women's Sa = 1.331). Differences between men's and women's efficiency in executing the grappling techniques – katame waza, have also been found. The same differences were found in the ways and directions of executing throwing techniques – nage waza. In the men's group a carry-back throw – seoi nage, and a variation of scarf-holding – kuzure kesa gatame were dominant techniques. Whereas, in the women's group the dominant techniques were as follows: inner thigh – uchimata and major inner reaping – ouchi gari. The indexes of technical-tactical preparation allowed us to determine the individual features of the winners from all the weight categories.
