President of the Russian Judo Federation (RJF) Sergey Soloveichik On he spoke about communication and work with the International Judo Federation (IFJ) on the issue of returning the Russian flag and anthem in international competitions.
Russian judokas, like representatives of many other sports, currently compete as neutral athletes, without a flag or anthem.
— The IFJ has always supported us. We are now in contact, we plan to return the old numbers of Russia, we plan to return the anthem and the flag. Additionally, our judo team is now one of the strongest in the world. They have won and will continue to win medals. I would like all this to take place under the Russian flag, so that everyone can hear that the best country in judo is Russia. We do everything for this, we train the guys with all our strength, we have a very strong coaching team,” Soloveichik said on .
