President of the St. Petersburg Judo Federation and personal trainer Inala Tasoeva And Madina Taimazova Mikhail Rakhlin told that athletes will be twice as strong at the Paris Olympics.
On Tuesday, the Russian Judo Federation unveiled the list of athletes who will participate in the Paris Olympic Games. World champion Tasoev will perform in the weight category over 100 kg, Olympic bronze medalist Taimazova – up to 70 kg.
— Two athletes will come from St. Petersburg – Taymazova and Tasoev. Naturally, I only expect victories and medal fights from both, nothing more. Madina knows how to pull herself together at the right time, she will compete for medals. I hope she wins. Inal Tasoev will also be great competition. He is capable of taking first place. It would be a worthy end to the Olympic cycle.
— Does the situation mean that judokas are among the few athletes who will represent Russia?
“I’m sure they understand they need to be twice as strong.” They are ready and know what they can show,” Rakhlin told .
The games in Paris will take place from July 26 to August 11. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced in December 2023 that it would allow Russian athletes who successfully qualified for the 2024 Olympics to have individual neutral status without a flag, anthem or other national symbol. The IOC also banned the participation of athletes associated with security forces or who have expressed support for the SVO.
