Beautiful wrestling and beautiful Russian character": The Russian judo team is on the right path to the Olympics in Los Angeles. Now she is one of the strongest in the world, shared Sergey Soloveitchik, president of the Russian Judo Federation.
"Now this is one of the preparation stages, because all major competitions, including the European Championships, World Championships, are considered by the coaches as preparation stages. And I think everything is going according to plan," he told Izvestia.
Soloveitchik emphasized that despite the aggressive attitude of the governments of some European countries towards Russian athletes, the Russian judo team always receives a friendly attitude.
"The same cannot be said about our judo family, the European world, which is very loyal to us, friendly, loving when we come, when we fight. Because Russian athletes are always a spectacle, it's a beautiful fight, beautiful judo," he said.
