The International Judo Federation's (IJF) IT partner for the World Championships, Huawei, has awarded wearable devices to all medallists at the competition, which is set to conclude today in Budapest.

Huawei was recently confirmed as a partner of the IJF for both its Championships and recent Congress.

To celebrate, all podium finishers at the World Championships have been given either a smart watch or smart band.

The wearable devices count monitoring a user's health among their main features, and Huawei believes the prizes can help athletes in training.

"Congratulations to the athletes for their excellent results," said Thomas Liu, managing director of Huawei Technologies Hungary.

"We hope that all the features of the smart watches and smart bands, will not only be an excellent companion in the athletes' everyday lives, but also help them prepare for the Olympics.

"Our devices are not only for professional athletes but can also be a great support for those who are just beginning to get into better shape or those already enjoy doing recreational sports.

"Since the screens of these devices can be matched with their owners' moods, I hope that they're now set on celebration mode."

Judoka such as Clarisse Agbegnenou of France and Japan's Soichi Hashiumoto were among those who said they planned to use the devices.

Today is the eighth and final day of the World Championships, which are being held at the László Papp Budapest Sports Arena.

The mixed team event is set to close the competition this evening.
