DOHA: Russia’s Arman Adamian won a world judo title on Friday at the first major international team competition to welcome back Russian and Belarusian athletes since last year’s invasion of Ukraine.
Adamian, taking part under a neutral flag, defeated Lukas Krpalek of the Czech Republic in the men’s -100kg final.
Ukraine pulled its team from the event in Doha last week over the presence of Russian team members it argued were active soldiers.
