President of Russia Vladimir Poutine congratulated the Russian judoka Inala Tasoeva with the awarding of the world championship gold medal. The head of state’s telegram was published on the Kremlin’s website.
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 am sincerely happy that the International Judo Federation has reviewed the results of the last World Championship and restored sports justice. You are rightly recognized as the winner of these most prestigious contests,” the telegram reads.
