The Russian Judo Federation has a touch of Italy at heart: Italian its head coach, Ezio Gamba, and physiotherapist Stefano Frassinelli, Italian-international our methodology, Human Tecar, which has been flanking the Federation for years, supporting these athletes whose presence in Rio, according to Marius L. Vizer, president of the International Judo Federation, Marius L. Vizer, was “very important”.
In his statement when he announced the green light to Russian judoka for the Brazilian Olympics, Vizer pointed out “the Russian Federation is one of the most prominent members of the IJF thanks to its key role in developing this discipline.” Veritable crown jewel for Russian sport, it is no chance Vladimir Putin is honorary president of the Federation.
Now that the Olympics have run their course, we can say the Russian athletes were in top form: two golds and one bronze, respectively for Beslan Mudranov (-60kg), Khasan Khalmurzaev (-81kg) and Natalia Kuziutina (women’s -52kg).
Kudos to all, and lots of Human Tecar!
