Bilalov wins Baku bronze Gymnasts await Dutch visas

Oct 9

Vremya reports Niyaz Bilalov winning his first judo world-championship medal, a Baku bronze after defeating fellow Russian Arman Adamian. It recalls his win over Ukraine's Anton Savytskiy and praises respectful conduct after that bout. In an interview Bilalov says the usual bows and sporting behaviour apply regardless of an opponent's nationality. Continuing the report's sporting-fairness theme, the anchor attributes to the Russian Gymnastics Federation a warning that Dutch visas remain outstanding two days before departure for the Rotterdam world championships, potentially affecting qualification for the 2028 Olympics. The anchor calls this Russophobia. A final visa refusal or missed competition is not established.
