Russian and Belarussian participation controversy

The International Judo Federation (IJF) announced on 29 April 2023, the last day of event registration, that Russian and Belarusian athletes would be allowed to participate as individual neutral athletes following background checks.[9][10][11] Following the announcement, twenty Russian and Belarusian athletes were registered were entered into the championships.[10][12][13] Of the twenty, at least five were reported to have ties to the Russian Armed Forces,[10][14] despite the International Olympic Committee's (IOC) suggestion to deny participation of athletes who are contracted to the Russian or Belarusian military or national security agencies.[10][15] In protest, the Ukrainian team withdrew from the championships.[10][12][14]

Notes

  1. Russian and Belarusian judokas participated as Individual Neutral Athletes as a result of sanctions imposed following the 2022 invasion of Ukraine. The IJF does not include the medals won by these judokas in the official medal table.[7]
  2. During the final between Teddy Riner and Inal Tasoev, there was one situation where neither the referee on the mat nor the IJF Refereeing Commission gave any score. Following a thorough expert analysis, according to the current refereeing rules, a score could have been awarded for Inal Tasoev's counterattack. Therefore, the IJF declares both athletes as the winners of the contest and award a gold medal and the corresponding ranking points to Inal Tasoev.[8]
