Russia’s Armand Adamian, who won the men’s 100 kg class as AIN at the World Judo Championships and is delighted with his guts pose = Doha (Kyodo) on the 12th
[Doha Joint]Russia’s Armand Adamian, who participated in the judo world championship held in Doha on the 12th as an individual neutral player (AIN), won the men’s 100 kg class. This is the first medal for AIN in this tournament. Even though he was unable to use the Russian name, flag, or national anthem to win the championship, he honestly said, “I’m not depressed. I’m very happy with the gold medal.”
Russian and Belarusian athletes have been excluded from international competitions due to the invasion of Ukraine, but the International Judo Federation (IJF) allowed them to return in April with conditions such as a neutral stance. When Adamian won the final, he was surrounded by warm applause from the audience. At the award ceremony, the flag of this year’s competition was hoisted and the IJF anthem was played.
