The President of the French Judo Federation, Stephane Nomi, said that he wants Russian judokas to participate in the 2024 Olympic Games.
“We will abide by the decision of the IOC, which is very important because the overwhelming majority was in favor of acceptance. I think it’s important that athletes from all over the world can compete. We don’t want the Russians to be the biggest losers.
Judo is a big family. We want to see the Russians in Paris. We want all countries to participate in the judo tournament at the Olympics. This is very important,” says Nomi. Inside the Games.
Recall that the International Judo Federation (IJF) at the end of April allows athletes from Russia and Belarus to participate in international competitions in neutral status. 17 Russian judokas will take the stage at the World Championships. They went through a background check on supporting the NWO.
At a meeting of the executive committee of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) on March 28, it was recommended that the Russians be allowed to have a neutral status, if the athletes are not actively engaged in supporting hostilities. Athletes representing law enforcement and armed forces will not be allowed to compete.
It was previously reported that Russian judoka Arman Adamyan wins gold at the World Championships in Doha.
