Rafa Maciel 1,261 Posted February 5, 2023 #11 Share Posted February 5, 2023 16 minutes ago, phelps said: it looks that IJF has already lifted their ban on Russian & Belarussian athletes and they will be able to comback from the Grand Slam tournament following the next one in Tel Aviv... I really hope that those are just rumors with no real consistency... Looks like it is confirmed: Vizer says IJF promotes peace with reintroduction of Russia and Belarus (insidethegames.biz) From memory, the ban only came into effect in September so theoretically at least, Russian athletes could have been on the tour last year but only took part in 1 event.

Agger 1,591 Posted February 5, 2023 #12 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Not much of a surprise considering Vizers connections to Russia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshMartini007 2,220 Posted February 5, 2023 #13 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Pretty much, besides tennis who never fully banned their players, judo was always on top of the list for athletes to return Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phelps 6,892 Posted February 17, 2023 #18 Share Posted February 17, 2023 first ever win by Klimkait vs Deguchi in a IJF international tournament (head-to-head matchups were 6-0 in favor of Deguchi before Yesterday). tbh, Deguchi was doing better than her rival and the she was heavily penalized by an injury to a hand, she couldn't grab Klimkait sleeves anymore after that. no comment about the Italians in day #1 of the tournament. they basically missed the Paris Grand Slam to focus on this event and we came out with just a miserable bronze medal (thanks to the usual suspect Giuffrida, who lost once again vs Giles in the semifinal match ). the only encouraging performances came from Rio 2016 Olympic Champion Fabio Basile (who made his comeback after a long injury break in the -66kg class -which he left after Rio- and lost in the first round against the eventual winner Margvelashvili only after 3 mins into the GS period and after scoring a waza-ari against him in regulation) and youngster Veronica Toniolo (women's -57kg), who beat Telma Monteiro in rd#1 and then lost after 4 mins into the GS period by 3rd shido vs Daria Bilodid after actually dominating the fight.

Monzanator 3,600 Posted February 17, 2023 #19 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Meanwhile appears to be racking up 7th places at best. Not like anyone notices that. I'm afraid Julia Kowalczyk's career has stalled after the early promise so it's anyone's guess when/if we'll become relevant in this sport again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
