BUDAPEST, Hungary — Ukraine is set to boycott the world judo championships next week after the International Judo Federation signaled it will allow Russian and Belarusian competitors to enter the event, a key Olympic qualifier.
“With the World Championships – Doha 2023 being held from 7th to 14th May, with significant points to be awarded, this decision allows the possibility for fair participation and equal chances to all judo athletes who are pursuing their Olympic dreams,” the IJF added. “I think that it is unacceptable to allow military personnel of a terrorist country who every day kill Ukrainians to participate in international competitions,” Daria Bilodid, a two-time world champion from Ukraine who is one of judo’s biggest names, wrote on Instagram.
Russian Sports Minister Oleg Matytsin called the proposed neutral status for Russian athletes “discrimination” in comments to Russian news agency Tass on Saturday. He did not confirm whether Russia would compete under those conditions, as the judo team did last year.
