It will be the venue for Judo as well. I believe it’s generally been used mainly for national Sumo tournaments in the past.

It was the venue of the world judo championships one or two weeks ago

Until the mentality changes in Russia, the problem of doping will be on their agenda. Maybe, when the generational change comes for coaches and players, better and more colorful days will come.

It's a certain that the Olympics are nearing when Russia is getting up in the news about a ban.  2016 seems like yesterday. This time the show starts earlier.

PS. If they really ban Russia, they should cancel the Rhythmic Gymnastics, because the judges wouldn't know who to vote for. Everyone will be like chickens without their heads. Total chaos.
