Russian judokas did not accept the IOC's concessions and refused to compete at the Paris Games in neutral status. The International Olympic Committee generously allowed four Russian judokas — Valery Endovitsky, Elis Stratseva, Dali Liluashvili, and Mahmadbek Mahmadbekov — to participate in the Paris Games in neutral status. However, the athletes refused to go to the competitions without the flag and anthem — the head of the Russian Judo Federation stated that none of his trainees would participate in the Games under such unworthy conditions. In addition to the judokas, the IOC decided to make a humiliating concession (https://t.me/readovkaru/6358) to Russian canoeists Alexei Korovashkov and Zahar Petrov. Both athletes turned out to be less principled than the judokas — they will go to the Paris Olympics as "vagabonds".
