Russian President Vladimir Putin has been invited to attend the opening ceremony of the World Judo Championships, scheduled to take place in Hungary’s capital of Budapest on August 28.
Hungarian Judo Association President Laszlo Toth said the invitation was sent via the International Judo Federation, as Putin is its Honorary President. "Vladimir Putin has been given an invitation to attend the Budapest World Championships on behalf of the International Judo Federation President Marius Vizer. We expect the Russian president to participate in the event’s opening ceremony on August 28," Toth added.
However, the Kremlin press service has not yet announced whether preparations for the Russian president’s visit to Hungary are underway. Putin is a black belt judoka and has attended several judo competitions such as the 2014 World Championships in Chelyabinsk, the 2010 European Championships in Vienna and the last two Olympic Games where he saw Russian athletes taking the title.
