RUSSIAN JUDO FEDERATION ANNOUNCE OLYMPIC TEAM

Following the announcement this morning by the Russian Judo Federation, we can now see who will be the medal hopefuls from the only European nation who have qualified an athlete in each weight category for the Olympics Games 2021.

Though many countries including France and the Netherlands have had to make some very difficult decisions between top qualified athletes, the RJF are the last of our European representatives to announce the official team. Though they did qualify Kseniia CHIBISOVA in the +78kg category, she recently welcomed a new family member and so won’t be competing.
