The organizing committee of the Grand Slam series in Ulaanbaatar did a fantastic job, it was nice to see happy judokas, International Judo Federation (IJF) chief executive Vlad Marinescu told .
The tournament in Mongolia ended on Sunday. The Russian team, under the symbols of the IJF, took first place in the medal standings.
– This tournament was the first qualification for a trip to the Paris Games. The organizing committee, together with the government of the country and the president of the federation, did a fantastic job. It was nice to see happy judoists here. It’s hard to say the best moment, because there were a lot of positive emotions here.
I was happy to see how, after the fights, the children waited for the athletes for autographs and photos. The job of a judoka is not only to win medals, it is also important to motivate children. I think they will remember this moment,” Marinescu said.
