Belarusian judokas will be able to represent their country at international competitions.
According to Idman.biz, according to the statement of the National Olympic Committee of Belarus, athletes from this country will participate in international judo competitions under the national flag, emblem and anthem.
Executive Committee of the International Judo Federation (IJF) reportedly made a decision on this.
The decision to lift the sanctions imposed on Belarusian judokas in March 2022 will come into effect on June 1. Thus, Belarusian athletes will be able to compete under their flag at the upcoming world championship. The tournament will be held in Budapest on June 13-20.
However, IJF has not officially announced the lifting of the sanctions against Belarus.
From April 2023, Russian and Belarusian athletes will be able to participate in international competitions only in neutral status.
