The Russian Judo Federation (RDF) thanked the International Judo Federation (IJF) for the just decision to award Inalu Tasoev gold medal at the world championships.
On Friday, the IJF reviewed the results of the final of the World Championship in the weight category over 100 kg with the participation of Russian Tasoev and decided to award a gold medal to both participants in the fight.
— We thank the IJF and Marius Vizer for a fair decision fully in line with the philosophy and values of judo, as well as the principles of fair play. Everyone makes mistakes, but only a strong mind has the courage to admit it. Such a step underlines once again that judokas and the protection of their interests are at the center of our sport.
I would also like to congratulate Inal Tasoev on an absolutely well-deserved gold medal: life always rewards those who completely and completely devote themselves to their favorite business, work tirelessly. I am sure that he will still have the opportunity to celebrate the victory of the championship title directly on the tatami, ”said the press service of the organization quoting the president of FDR, Sergei Soloveichik.
