russian judoka Inal Tasoev who won the gold medal at the 2023 World Championships, said that during the competition, rivals treated domestic athletes well who played in a neutral status.
At the end of April, the executive committee of the International Judo Federation decided to allow athletes from Russia and Belarus to participate in competitions under the auspices of the organization as individual neutral athletes.
– During the competition, we do not feel extra looks on ourselves. Everyone is happy to see us. There is no politics at all. We are supported by both the Russian Judo Federation and the International Federation. I hope that the attitude towards Russian athletes in judo will become an example for other sports.
I haven’t even thought about going to the Olympics yet. There is still a lot of work to do. There is no exact composition yet. There is no certainty that we will either. We all believe and hope that we will participate in these Olympics,” Tasoev told the “Championship”.
