10. Medina Taimazova



Tokyo Olympics bronze medalist Medina Taimazova was approved by the IJF as a neutral athlete. This "neutral" judoka is happy to be photographed for Russian propaganda outlets standing next to the image of dictator Putin and the military symbol Z.

In April 2022, Taimazova participated in a propaganda event called "a master class for young judokas from Donbass". Information about this was posted on the St. Petersburg Judo Federation Instagram page. That is, Ukrainian children were illegally taken to Russia. In fact, they were kidnapped. And the "neutral athlete" Taimazova contributed to the abduction with her "master class" and helped to turn it into a propaganda PR campaign.

During this propaganda event, some of the children can be seen having the abbreviation DPR written on their backs, which stands for the name of the terrorist organization "Donetsk People's Republic".

Also, after being at the war, Kachmazov posted a joint photo with Tasoev on his profile and tagged him in this photo.

Tasoev also liked a video on Kachmazov's page dedicated to another Russian occupier eliminated in Ukraine, Akhmat Zaseev.

He liked a similar video on another page too. Again, Tasoev liked a post by another user about the death of one more occupier, as well as a post about the Russian aggression against Georgia in 2008.

I THINK that if Russian Gymnastics accepts the quota here... it COULD easily accept any invitation to have a Russian athlete on Artistic Gymnastics

no, Bladtceva was not eligible given that Lebedeva got a quota.

 

Who got the 2nd quota for AIN (through Belarus) was Viyaleta BARDZILOUSKAYA.
