Russia's women's judo team equaled its best World Championship result in 33 years

So far, players Sabina Gelyazova (under 48 kg) and Madina Taimazova (under 70 kg) have won bronze medals for Russia.

Thus, the Russian women's judo team equaled the best performance in its history, an achievement previously achieved at the World Championships in 1993, when Victoria Kazunina (weight below 72 kg) and Svetlana Gundarenko (weight above 72 kg) won two bronze medals.

The Judo Championship competitions in Azerbaijan will continue until October 11, and the Russian delegation includes 23 athletes (12 men and 11 women), as the Russian team participates under the national flag and anthem.
