Russia result review Inala Tasoeva at the World Championships and awarding him a gold medal is an indicator of the work of the Russian Judo Federation, the Olympics bronze medalist, a former State Duma deputy, told Dmitry Nosov .
Earlier on Friday, it became known that the International Judo Federation (IJF) reviewed the results of the last match of the World Championship in the over 100 kg category, in which Tasoev lost to three-time French Olympic champion Teddy Rinse. In extra time, the Russian laid the opponent on his back, but the attack went unmarked. The IJF conceded the error, stating that “points for Tasoev’s counterattack could have been awarded”, and ended up awarding gold to Tasoev and Riner in that fight. The world championship took place in May in Doha.
– I want to congratulate Tasoev! I’m glad the truth prevailed. I would like to add that this is an indicator of the work of the Russian Judo Federation, well done! Very good news. In fact, this is the first time I have encountered this. In my lifetime, I don’t remember medals being awarded at the end of the World Championships. Very interesting and unusual case. Of course, it is doubly pleasant that the result was revised in favor of the Russian athlete, Nosov told .
