    The International Olympic Committee: The Executive Committee of the International Judo Federation (IJF) has voted to allow Russian judokas to compete in international competitions under the Russian flag, with the country's national anthem and symbols, the IJF has announced.

    "Sport is the last bridge that unites people and nations in very difficult conflict situations and environments. Athletes have no responsibility for the decisions of governments or other national institutions, and it is our duty to protect the sport and our athletes," read an IJF statement issued late on Thursday, reports Xinhua.

    "Historically, Russia has been a leading nation in world judo, and its full return is expected to enrich competition at all levels while upholding the IJF's principles of fairness, inclusivity, and respect," the IJF added.
