The Russian judo team is the best in the world, which says a lot about the work of the Russian Judo Federation. This opinion was shared by the 2016 Olympic champion Beslan Mudranov .
On Thursday, at the international exhibition and forum “Russia”, the Republic Day of Adygea takes place, during which the exhibition “Maikop Judo School”, prepared by the regional authorities in collaboration with the Russian Federation of judo, was inaugurated in the pavilion. of the Ministry of Sports of the Russian Federation. The head of the Russian Judo Federation Sergei Soloveichik and the head of the Republic of Adygea Murat Kumpilov took part in the work at the stand.
— I think that in Adygea, judo is the number one sport, almost like in Japan. Everyone who follows this sport knows what the Adygea school was like in Soviet times. How many champions have been bred there? Everyone wanted to train in Adygea. There was even a time when the Japanese wanted to train there – and they were fighting wall to wall. I myself am from Kabardino-Balkaria, but I moved there only to gain experience and have the opportunity to be like the champions. At the time, I didn’t even think I could become champion. Then I just wanted to adopt their knowledge and skills.
Today, everything is evolving, and our federation is adapting to the times and always developing. In my opinion, our federation, headed by Sergei Igorevich Soloveichik, is the best in the world. I see how other federations work. Our team is the strongest; in almost all competitions we take first place as a team. This suggests that the federation is not working at 100, but at 200%, reports the correspondent of , reports Mudranov’s words.
The stand consisted of famous athletes such as Olympic winners Arsen Galstyan and Mudranov, Games medalists Arambiy Emizh and Khasanbi Taov, world and European champion Khazret Tletseri, State Duma deputy and multiple world champion Murat Khasanov. During the event, Galstyan and Mudranov held a master class for young judokas.
